Lecturer Nomination and Selection Procedure

The ACM Lectureship Series welcomes applications and nominations for potential speakers. This program is open to all full voting members of the ACM who have demonstrated technical expertise in computing and who have strong presentation skills. If you are interested in participating in this excellent program, or if you know of other qualified individuals who might be, please complete and forward an application or nomination.

In order to ensure the timely processing of the application or nomination, please follow these guidelines.

1. A formal application/nomination consists of three items:
   1. a completed application form
   2. a current vitae or resume, and
   3. letters of recommendation which speak to the applicants speaking ability and level of expertise.
2. Applications/recommendations, together with supporting materials, can be submitted to ACM HQ at any time.
3. Lectureship selection will be made on the basis of competitive review by the Lectureship Advisory Committee. Appointed Lecturers will then be asked to provide the information needed for the web page we showcase on each lecturer, i.e., a biographical sketch and a brief description of each talk (see examples at http://www.acm.org/top/lect-topic.html ).
ACM Lecturers are appointed for a one-year term, with the possibility of renewal. In exceptional circumstances, this term may be for a period up to but not to exceed three years. Lecturers will receive a certificate of recognition for their service to the ACM and are invited to participate in the annual Lectureship Speakers Luncheon held in conjunction with the BIG Event to coincide with the ACM's annual Computer Science Conference.
