For the first time, the annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) takes place in Germany. ACL 2016 will be held at the Humboldt University, in the heart of Berlin, August 7-12, 2016.

Established in 2011, the ACL Fellows program recognizes ACL members whose contributions to the field have been most extraordinary. To date, there are 32 members of the ACL that have been honored by the ACL as Fellows. Today we are pleased to announce four new members who have been granted Fellow status, in recognition of their long standing contribution to the field of Computational Linguistics. Please join us in congratulating our 2015 Fellows for their achievements. They are (in alphabetical order): Claire Cardie, Kenneth W. Church, Salim Roukos and Janyce Wiebe.
I am happy to announce the results of the elections for members of the ACL executive committee:
Marti A. Hearst (UC Berkeley, USA) has been elected as VP-Elect of ACL.
Jing-Shin Chang (National Chi Nan University, Taiwan) will be the new Information Officer and Shiqi Zhao (Baidu, China) will be the new Secretary.
