Chair's Letter

Ben Carterette

Abstract: Dear SIGIR community, This is my last letter as Chair of the SIGIR Executive Committee. I want to start off by thanking the committee, Tetsuya Sakai (Vice Chair), Min Zhang (Treasurer), Claudia Hauff (Secretary), and Diane Kelly (Past Chair). It has been an honor to work with them to serve the community. We have accomplished a lot---see below---and I look forward to working with the next committee of Vanessa Murdock (Chair), Ryen White (Vice Chair), Carsten Eickhoff (Treasurer), and Laura Dietz (Secretary) to accomplish even more.
