Approval of all EDS Distinguished Lecturers occur twice a year at an EDS Educational Activities Committee (EduCom) Meeting which will be held in conjunction with the two AdCom Meetings.  The resumes of the proposed distinguished lecturers will be distributed via email at least three weeks prior to the meeting.

If an EDS EduCom meeting is not scheduled, then the voting will take place in the same time frame as the AdCom Meeting, but via email.

    Administrative Committee or is a current IEEE/EDS Fellow
