19 Services

20 Distinguished Lecturers/Speakers Program

Provided as a service to our local chapters, Distinguished Lecture Tours and individual Distinguished Speakers can be arranged in response to a request from one or more Chapter Chairs. They may also be initiated by Regional Directors, the Director – Membership Programs Development, or the Vice President – Member Relations. Although tours and individual lectures are organized to benefit existing members and Chapters, they can also be effective in generating membership and encouraging new chapter formation.

Lecture tours will be supported as the budget allows in each of our four Regions: Asia/Pacific, Europe-Africa-Middle-East, Latin America, and North America. The Director in each region plays a key role as facilitator.

For more information go to www.comsoc.org and “About ComSoc;” scroll to Member Programs; then Distinguished Lecturers.
