Chairs' Letter
Anuj Dawar, Catuscia PalamidessiDear Colleagues,
The letter from the chair this time comes from not one, but two chairs. This is because we are in the process of transition. Catuscia Palamidessi is stepping down from the role of SIGLOG chair after years of important service. As Catuscia reported in the January issue of this newsletter, the financial crisis that had preoccupied us for some time has been resolved with an agreement with ACM that balances the SIGLOG overhead charges with its income from the ACM digital library. With this difficulty behind us, it is time to look forward and rebuild SIGLOG. With this in mind, a nominating committee chaired by Moshe Vardi proposed Anuj Dawar for the role of chair and Prakash Panangaden for the role of vice-chair. They stepped into these roles in May 2026. Sandra Alves and Elaine Pimentel continue in their roles as Secretary and Treasurer respectively.
