Membership SIGCHI e Candidatura di Luigi De Russis

by Giuliana VITIELLO

Cari Tutti e care Tutte, Faccio seguito al mio messaggio di circa un anno fa per invitare nuovamente chi di voi non l'avesse già fatto a rinnovare la propria *iscrizione ad ACM SIGCHI*. E' davvero importante dare massima visibilità a livello internazionale a una comunità scientifica attiva e dinamica come la nostra. Per questo motivo vi esorto *fare iscrivere anche tutti i nostri studenti di dottorato*, che pagano una quota simbolica e che rappresentano il futuro dell'HCI italiana. Un modo per farli sentire parte attiva di questa comunità sin da subito. Quest'anno questo mio appello è particolarmente sentito, perché siamo prossimi alle elezioni del *SIGCHI 2024 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE*, che si apriranno ad Aprile e termineranno a Maggio/Giugno 2024 e che vedono la candidatura dell'attuale *Presidente Neha Kumar e di Luigi De Russis, in qualità di Executive Vice President* (i due nominativi “running as a team”, vanno votati insieme). Penso sia superfluo sottolineare l'importanza del ruolo di Executive VIce President affidato a un membro della nostra comunità, che negli anni scorsi ha dato grande prova di sensibilità verso le iniziative portate avanti dai nostri gruppi di ricerca, suggerendo di volta in volta strategie e strumenti che SIGCHI mette a disposizione per favorirne il successo. E' anche per questo motivo che vi chiedo di massimizzare gli sforzi e, cogliendo tutti i benefit della membership cui ho accennato, *votare Neha Kumar e Luigi De Russis*. Infine vi ricordo che chiunque può richiedere l'iscrizione a questa lista hcitaly(a)isti.cnr.it, tramite il form (https://mailman.isti.cnr.it/p ostorius/lists/hcitaly.isti.cnr.it/) o mandando una mail a hcitaly-join(a)isti.cnr.it con 'subscribe’ nell’oggetto della mail. Una volta iscritti ad ACM SIGCHI, mi auguro che tutti i nuovi membri chiedano di essere inseriti nella mailing list del Capitolo Italiano. Un caro saluto a tutti e ... a presto vedervi ad AVI2024! Giuliana Vitiello, *Chair del Capitolo Italiano SIGCHI ITALY* -- --- Prof. Giuliana Vitiello, PhD Director HCI-UsE Lab Department of Computer Science University of Salerno Italy phone +39 089 963317 cell +39 3666758965 https:// <https://docenti.unisa.it/003730/home> docenti.unisa.it/giuliana.vitiello
