Sponsorship request for a Distinguished Lecturer

A request for sponsorship of a lecture by one of the CAS Distinguished Lecturers must be made by a local sponsoring organization with direct involvement and approval of the corresponding CAS Chapter Chair.

Chapters are strongly encouraged to make use of the CASS DLP to enhance their member benefits. Although lectures are mainly organized to benefit existing members and Chapters, they can also be effective in generating membership and encouraging new chapter formation. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the CASS DLP Chair regarding this type of activity.

Announcement and arrangements of the Distinguished Lecture

The Chapter Chair is expected to publicize the event in the chapter or section newsletter and/or by special mailings to all members of the section. The event must be announced as "sponsored by the Circuits and Systems Society under its Distinguished Lecturer Program", and the lecturer should be mentioned as a CAS Distinguished Lecturer. Speaking engagement arrangements are subsequently made by the benefiting organization directly with the Distinguished Lecturer. Sharing of expenses between the benefiting organization and the CAS Society is encouraged. For example, the benefiting organization could provide local transportation and/or accommodation for the Lecturer.

Steps for organizing a Distinguished Lecturer visit

• Based on the interests of its membership (e.g., a benefiting organization in the region covered by the Chapter), the Chapter Chair approves a topic and a lecturer. A representative of the benefiting organization and/or the Chapter Chair shall contact the lecturer directly and work out preliminary details of the visit (chapter event, date, location, name and affiliation of the benefiting organization, lecture topic, expected number of attendees, etc.).
• This preliminary information, including an estimate of the cost, will be entered in the application form and sent to the DLP Chair for approval
• After the visit is approved by the DLP Chair, the lecturer is contacted to finalize the arrangements. The lecture should be open to all members of IEEE. The Chair is expected to publicize the event in the chapter or section newsletter and/or by special mailings to all members of the section. The event must be announced as "sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society under its Distinguished Lecturer Program", and the lecturer should be mentioned as a CAS Distinguished Lecturer. If other IEEE societies or other organizations have offered to support this chapter activity, then proper acknowledgment of them should also be made.
• No honorarium will be paid to the DLP speakers.
• Immediately following the event, the Chapter Chair should send a summary report to the DLP Chair using the following DLP event report template.
• Each Distinguished Lecturer may present a maximum of three DLP talks each year.
• Following the event, the lecturer should complete the IEEE travel reimbursement form and send it by e-mail or fax to the DLP Chair. The original receipts should be mailed to:

  Heidi Zazza, Executive Director
  IEEE Circuits and Systems Society
  445 Hoes Lane
  Piscataway, NJ 08854
  USA.

  Do not send receipts to the DLP Chair! If chapter officers require reimbursement, they should contact the DLP Chair for instructions.

Distinguished Lecturer expenses

• All trips must be approved in advance by the Distinguished Lecturer Program Chair.
• Each Distinguished Lecturer may present a maximum of three DLP talks each year.
• CAS Society will reimburse Distinguished Lecturer's travel expenses for approved speaking engagements up to $1,500 per domestic engagement and up to $2,000 per engagement for presentations to CAS Chapters on a continent other than the speaker's home continent.
• Each IEEE-CAS Society (IEEE-CASS) chapter will be allowed a maximum of 4 DLP lectures per year. All expenses of the first two DLP lectures at each IEEE-CASS chapter will be covered by the IEEE-CASS DLP program. The CAS DLP will pay for travel for the third and fourth lectures. The local travel expenses of the third and fourth lectures will be covered by the local chapter organizing the event.

Selection of Distinguished Lecturers

• The non-renewable term for each Distinguished Lecturer is two years. Currently all terms begin and end at the turn of a calendar year.
• Selection is based on
  • professional competence and recognition of the CAS expertise,
  • communication and presentation skills,
  • proposed topic areas,
  • contribution to a balanced program, and
  • recommendation of the CAS Chapter Chairs, CAS Technical Committee Chairs, or any member of the CAS Board of Governors.
• Distinguished Lecturer nominations shall be received by the CASS DLP Chair no later than 30 November of each year for the term that begins on 1 January of the subsequent year.
• All Distinguished Lecturer nominations shall be approved by the CASS Board of Governors.
• Membership in the CAS Society's Distinguished Lecturer program shall not be used in the advertising of products or services, nor for any unacceptable presentations such as product or training seminars or trade shows
