The following SIGLEX Executive Board officers are serving until Spring 2022:

=== President ===
* Preslav Nakov, Qatar Computing Research Institute, HBKU, Qatar

=== Secretary ===
* Aline Villavicencio, The University of Sheffield, UK

=== Executive Board ===
* Vice-President Elect: Steven Bethard, The University of Arizona, USA
* Vice-Secretary Elect: Ekaterina Shutova, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

* MWE section: Carlos Ramisch, Aix Marseille University, France
* SemEval section: David Jurgens, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA

=== Members ===
SIGLEX currently has 359 members. SIGLEX has two sections: Multiword Expressions (MWE) with 276 members, and SemEval with 240 members. In 2020/2021, we conducted an update in the membership registrations, asking members to re-register, update their section membership, (optionally) opt-in for displaying their names on the SIGLEX site, and (optionally) opt-in to emails from the mailing list.

=== Websites and Mailing Lists ===
We updated the SIGLEX website and the mailing lists. The website https://siglex.org/ is now backed by https://github.com/acl-org/siglex/. The mailing lists are now backed by Google Groups at https://groups.google.com/g/siglex-members/ and siglex-board@googlegroups.com.

The new website and mailing lists for SIGLEX are maintained by Steven Bethard.
The MWE section of SIGLEX updated their website and the mailing list following a similar process. The website https://multiword.org/ is now backed by https://github.com/multiword/multiword.github.io. The mailing lists are now backed by Google Groups at https://groups.google.com/g/siglex-mwe-members and siglex-mwe-board@googlegroups.com. The new website and mailing lists for the MWE section of SIGLEX are maintained by Carlos Ramisch.

The SemEval section of SIGLEX continues to be managed by the SemEval organizers (currently Alexis Palmer, Nathan Schneider, Guy Emerson, and Natalie Schluter) using the existing website, https://semeval.github.io/, and the mailing list, semeval-organizers@googlegroups.com.

SIGLEX (co-)organises three yearly events: SemEval, *SEM, and MWE:

=== *SEM 2021 ===
The 10th Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (*SEM 2021), organized by SIGLEX, will be co-located with ACL-IJCNLP 2021 and will take place on August 5-6, 2021.

* SemEval section: David Jurgens, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA

=== Members ===
SIGLEX currently has 359 members. SIGLEX has two sections: Multiword Expressions (MWE) with 276 members, and SemEval with 240 members. In 2020/2021, we conducted an update in the membership registrations, asking members to re-register, update their section membership, (optionally) opt-in for displaying their names on the SIGLEX site, and (optionally) opt-in to emails from the mailing list.

=== Websites and Mailing Lists ===
We updated the SIGLEX website and the mailing lists. The website https://siglex.org/ is now backed by https://github.com/acl-org/siglex/. The mailing lists are now backed by Google Groups at https://groups.google.com/g/siglex-members/ and siglex-board@googlegroups.com. The new website and mailing lists for SIGLEX are maintained by Steven Bethard.
The MWE section of SIGLEX updated their website and the mailing list following a similar process. The website https://multiword.org/ is now backed by https://github.com/multiword/multiword.github.io. The mailing lists are now backed by Google Groups at https://groups.google.com/g/siglex-mwe-members and siglex-mwe-board@googlegroups.com. The new website and mailing lists for the MWE section of SIGLEX are maintained by Carlos Ramisch.
The SemEval section of SIGLEX continues to be managed by the SemEval organizers (currently Alexis Palmer, Nathan Schneider, Guy Emerson, and Natalie Schluter) using the existing website, https://semeval.github.io/, and the mailing list, semeval-organizers@googlegroups.com.

SIGLEX (co-)organises three yearly events: SemEval, *SEM, and MWE:

=== *SEM 2021 ===
The 10th Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (*SEM 2021), organized by SIGLEX, will be co-located with ACL-IJCNLP 2021 and will take place on August 5-6, 2021.
