These 2018 Distinguished Members are exemplars for their peers and represent ACM’s worldwide geographic reach, as well as the exciting range of subdisciplines that constitute today’s technology landscape.

One of this year’s distinguished members is former Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Council member Vasant Honavar from the Pennsylvania State University.

The ACM Distinguished Member program, initiated in 2006, recognizes those members with at least 15 years of professional experience who have made significant accomplishments or achieved a significant impact on the computing field.

Congrats, Vasant!
