Los Angeles Computer Society 

The Los Angeles Computer Society (LACS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public benefit (charitable and educational) corporation to provide a forum in the Los Angeles community for exchanging ideas and information about computers and their uses; to provide education and help in solving computer related problems; to provide information about commercial software and hardware and access to public domain software; and to educate and foster the development of computer-related skills among members and the general public.  

From our inception in the early 1980s as the UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) PC User Group and our incorporation in 1991 when we changed to our current name, many members were employees of Hughes Aircraft.  Today most members are just avid computer users if nothing more; the age of our membership ranges from 16 through 80+.  There is always an opportunity for members to get involved in various LACS activities.

The term for Officers is one year and two years for Directors.  In June/July the President appoints a Nominating Committee to recommend one or more persons for each Office, and three or more persons for Directors. Of course members may make nominations.  Normally the election is held in September.  The elected "take office" on January 1. 

LACS is affiliated with the Association of Personal Computer User Group (APCUG) whose mission is: To facilitate communication among computer user groups, the community, and the technology industry.
