The Association for Computing Machinery is an international learned society for computing. It was founded in 1947 and is the world's largest scientific and educational computing society. The ACM is a non-profit professional membership group, claiming nearly 100,000 student and professional members as of 2019. ACM Chapters Connect Computing Professionals Worldwide ACM fosters growth in the computing community through its more than 180 professional and more than 680 student chapters worldwide. Chapters establish a local presence for ACM in international cities from New York to Beijing, as well as in more remote locations such as Cyprus, Kenya, and Sri Lanka. Regardless of size or location, every ACM chapter offers members a wealth of benefits, including access to critical research and the opportunity to establish a personal networking system in the region. Get Involved Joining an ACM chapter conveys a profound interest and dedication to the computing discipline. The next step is volunteering in a variety of roles and capacities that can benefit the chapter and advance career opportunities as well. Volunteer activities range from running for elected positions on chapter and SIG boards and serving in a wide variety of planning, management, and logistical support functions at SIG conferences. Members who get involved with ACM are creating networking and learning opportunities that advance both organizational and personal development.
