Under the able leadership of Don Gotterbarn, Keith Miller, Eugene Spafford, and others, SIGCAS is not jettisoning its valuable work in the areas of ethics and professionalism.  It is, nevertheless, time to build on these strengths and expand into other areas.” Mikey G SIGCAS at ACM Ed Council Portland OR
