Dear ACL members,
The Nominating Committee has chosen the following candidates for positions on the ACL Executive Committee (starting January 1, 2027):
VP-Elect
Smaranda Muresan (Barnard College at Collumbia University)
Carolyn Rose (Carnegie Mellon University)
ACL Secretary
Saif Mohammed (National Research Council Canada)
Derek F. Wong (University of Macau)
ACL Board member
Mausam (Indian Institute of Technology Delhi)
Roy Schwartz (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
According to the ACL constitution, additional nominations may be submitted over a thirty-day period (until August 07, 2026). For an additional nomination to be valid, it needs to come from two or more ACL members.
Nominations should be sent to Yang Feng (secretary [at] aclweb.org). The nominee should indicate via email that he or she accepts the nomination.
Each nominee should be prepared to submit the following: (a) name and affiliation, (b) a short biographical sketch, (c) a personal home page URL, and (d) a brief candidate statement. Following the close of the nomination period, nominees will receive a separate email requesting submission of these materials.
In the spirit of triennial rotation across its three regions (Europe/Middle-East/Africa, Asia-Pacific, North America/South America), the ACL Executive Committee encourages any additional nominations to be from the same regions as the candidates proposed by the Nominating Committee except ACL Secretary. The ACL Executive Committee also wants to promote equality and diversity in the nominations.
Please note that ACL officers are normally not allowed to simultaneously hold major conference chair positions, such as General Chair and Program Co-Chair. In borderline cases or if you are uncertain about the eligibility of a candidate in general, please consult the ACL Executive Committee.
Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or recommendations.
Yang Feng
ACL Secretary
