The EMC Society’s Distinguished Lecturer program provides speakers for Society chapter meetings and similar functions. Each speaker typically can offer one of several presentations on various electromagnetic compatibility topics. Speakers may present a maximum of six talks each year under this program. Distinguished Lecturers are appointed by the Board of Directors to two year terms. Currently the EMC Society has four speakers, two each on alternating terms.
The Society reimburses speakers for their approved traveling expenses up to a recommended limit of $750 per US engagement, or up to $1000 per overseas engagement with advance approval. Whenever possible, hosting chapters are encouraged to absorb some part of the cost, such as providing local transportation for the speaker, paying his hotel bill, or providing his meals.
