To the ACL Community,
Scammers are targeting the ACL community, using fake emails to impersonate ACL officers, especially the current ACL President. The scammers sometimes follow up the emails with phone calls.
ACL never requests transfers of money in this way. Please do NOT pay money and do NOT respond to the individuals trying to conduct this fraud.
Marti Hearst and David Yarowsky
During its 56th annual meeting in Melbourne, Australia (July 15 – July 20, 2018), the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) awarded its 2018 ACL Lifetime Achievement Award to Professor Mark Steedman.
The ACL sadly received the message about the passing away of Professor Aravind Joshi on New Year’s Eve 2017. Aravind was one of the pioneers of computational linguistics and made enormous contributions to our field, in particular related to syntax and discourse. In recognition of his contributions he received the first ACL Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002. He also served as ACL President in 1975. His death is a great loss for the many of us who have known and worked with him over his long career, and for the ACL community.
Sincerely,
Marti Hearst
President of ACL
58th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics

I am happy to announce the results of the elections for members of the ACL executive committee:
I am happy to announce that the Nominating Committee has selected six new ACL Fellows for 2017.
The ACL is seeking nominations for editorships of two ACL journals, Computational Linguistics (CL) and Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL). Currently, CL is the community’s forum for comprehensive longer papers, and TACL is the venue for shorter papers that also get a conference presentation. You may nominate the same candidate for both positions. Self-nominations are also accepted.
Instructions for nominations are as follows:
1. Nominations for a five-year term as Editor of Computational Linguistics
The ACL is seeking nominations for a 3-year term of Editor-in-Chief of the ACL's journal "Transactions of the ACL" (TACL).
Computational Linguistics is the premier journal in the areas of natural language processing and computational linguistics. It is a high-impact-factor, open-access, electronic-only journal, published by the MIT Press for the Association for Computational Linguistics.
The editor's role includes the following activities:
