Dear Brisbane ACM SIGCHI chapter members,
We are looking forward to celebrating another year of our ACM SIGCHI and preparing for a new year, with a new committee! The annual general meeting is our opportunity to discuss as a community what we would like from this chapter, and elect a new committee to steer us through the next steps.
There are three roles that need to be elected by plurality of votes (Chair, Vice-chair, and Treasurer). The other chairs we will ask for nominations and an endorsement of the team from the membership. Self-nominations are welcome.
