This award category also highlights that ACM`s global membership is the foundation of our organization. The candidate must obtain confirmation from 3 colleagues in this field (not necessarily CMA members) who have personal knowledge of the candidate`s work (e.g., co-authors, employees, supervisors). The endorsers confirm that they know the candidate`s work and that the candidate has accurately described his achievements. They also explain why they believe achievements meet the criteria for senior members. Applicants are advised to contact potential endorsers to obtain their consent. We also recommend that endorsers receive information about what endorsements should contain (from the Frequently Asked Questions website); Many nominations fail simply because supporters have not received good instructions from the candidate. A minimum of 4 and a maximum of 5 endorsements are required.
At least 2 of the endorsers must be current professional members of the CMA, preferably individuals who are themselves Fellows of the CMA or Distinguished Members of the CMA. Endorsers must have personal knowledge of the candidate`s work. Supporters confirm that they are familiar with the nominee`s work, that the nomination accurately describes their achievements, and that they believe that the achievements meet the criteria for distinguished members. Most importantly, they provide a brief confirmation in which they give their personal assessment of the main achievements and the candidate`s impact on the IT field (limited to 2,500 characters). It is the responsibility of the nominator to ensure that each endorser makes individual and substantive comments that strengthen the case for the nominee. Please note that the proposer also cannot act as one of the endorsers. Ask your endorser to contact senior@acm.org. We will make the correction and send your endorser a URL to confirm the change. The senior membership rank recognizes CMA members with at least 10 years of professional experience and at least 5 years of professional membership within the last 10 years who have demonstrated their performance through technical leadership and technical or professional contributions. There are no specific requirements, but there must be convincing evidence that its influence is already (not just potentially) in the top 1% of ACM professional members worldwide.
After submitting the application, an approval tracking URL will be sent to you in a “senior@acm.org” email. With the tracker, you can see if your ratings have been submitted and/or confirmed. You must log in with your ACM web account. Tell your supporters to provide specific details about why they think you have met the requirements for senior members. Short, vague endorsements that essentially only say that the candidate is qualified, or that simply repeat the candidate`s achievements, are not effective. Let`s take this example: “I`ve known the candidate for a year. The candidate has technical project management and has published more than 20 articles in journals and conferences. They also have several professional contributions to professional societies and have served on at least ten conference committees. I believe the candidate meets the criteria of technical leadership, technical contributions and professional contributions of the senior member.
As an endorsement, it is weak because the endorser has not known the candidate for a very long time, does not explain in what role he knows the candidate and repeats the criteria for the upper limbs without giving details on how the candidate meets them. CMA Distinguished Membership recognizes up to 10% of the top CMA members who have had significant achievements or impacts in the field of computer science. Along with Fellows and Senior Members, ACM Distinguished Members are part of ACM`s prestigious Advanced Member Grades program.
