Abstract :
All AESS Chapters and IEEE Sections are encouraged to take advantage of the AESS Distinguished Lecturer & Tutorial Program for their regular or special meetings. We have selected an outstanding list of speakers who are experts in their fields, The AES Society will cover up to $1000 of the speaker´s expenses for travel in North America,with any remaining amount normally covered by the AESS Chapter or Section or by the speaker´s organization. For travel outside North America, the AES Society will cover up to $1500. The procedure for obtaining a speaker is as follows: If a Chapter or Section has an interest in inviting one of the speakers, it should first contact the speaker directly in order to obtain his agreement to give the lecture or tutorial on a particular date. After this is accomplished,and if the Chapter or Section wishes to request financial support from AESS, contact Iram Weinstein at least 30 days before the planned meeting, in order to obtain approval for the financial support. The list of distinguished speakers who have expressed their willingness to speak to Chapters or Sections,along with their affiliation,topics, and contact information,is given below.
