The North American chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics has elected UW's Professor Emily Bender as Chair of the Executive Board. She stated:
I believe that science flourishes to the extent that we foster reproducibility, the open exchange of ideas, inclusivity and communication across and within disciplines. As NAACL Chair I would work to continue and expand on NAACL?s excellent track record in these areas while also ensuring the organization continues to run smoothly.
