10 months ago I am a member of the SIGCSE group of ACM. I am not sure if that counts.

The two professional organizations in the (computer) technology field are the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), both of which publish research journals that advance the field and provide career development support for computer science students.
At many colleges and universities, the same student club can be a local chapter for both organizations (there is no non-exclusivity requirement) so for a marginal increase in effort, students can receive support from two large organizations.
What can the ACM/IEEE help students to do?
- Organize career fairs and mock interviews
- Obtain funding for activities and events
- Develop professional projects
- Host conferences for professional awareness
The WORMS Computer Club or another club may be interested in doing this on behalf of all CS students at Evergreen.
For the ACM, at least one faculty advisor needs to be an ACM member. @weissrihttps://github.com/weissri are you a member, perhaps due to your attendance to SIGCSE in the past? https://www.acm.org/chapters/students/how-to-start-a-student-chapter
For the IEEE, https://students.ieee.org/student-branches/
Feedback and discussion is welcome in this thread or in-person for this direction.
