The number of Member signatures required for the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer and Members at Large, is 555.

The Bylaws provide that such petitions must reach the Elections Committee before January 31.

Original petitions for ACM offices are to be submitted to the ACM Elections Committee, c/o Pat Ryan, Deputy Executive Director, ACM Headquarters, by January 31, 2004. Duplicate copies of the petitions should also be sent to the Chair of the Elections Committee, Gerry Segal, Chief Information Architect, New York State Psychiatric Institute, Unit 18, 1051 Riverside Drive, New York, NY 10032, USA.
