I left the AES in 2020 because I wasn't getting much of anything out of my membership while doing a lot of work for sections/committees over the years, plus I transitioned into IT after a decade+ of underemployment. I've been with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) for 2+ years. I was asked to serve on the DEI Committee.
