SIG Elections

Scientific Interest Groups (SIGs) are a vital part of the ACA. There are many SIGs that each represent a particular discipline within the field of crystallography, allowing members to focus on their area of specialty while retaining access to interaction with the entire range of crystallographic techniques and applications.   Each SIG has its own election schedule and voters always have the option of writing in a name instead of voting for one of the candidates named on the ballot.  In 2022 the candidates who won an office are as follows:
