The ACM is the Association for Computing Machinery. It is the biggest 
(or second biggest, depending on how you count) computer science 
professional organization. You may join if you have a BS or better in CS
or if you have a certain amount of experience in the field. They publish 
journals, sponser conferences, and do other academic things. You may get
more information by writing:

         The Association for Computing Machinery 
         11 West 42nd Street
         New york, New York 10036

Publishers sometimes give price-breaks to ACM members. And, oh yeah, 
there is a student membership program as well. My information on 
membership could be incorrect. The address is definite.
