them informed of the latest research results and their practical applications. Since 2009 the BTS Distinguished Lecturer Program exists for the purpose of providing BTS members with a list of quality lecturers who can potentially give lecturers at meetings, as well as funding to support the travel expenses of the lecturer. The program provides a means for BTS members to have access to individuals who are well known educators and authors in the fields of broadcast technology to lecture at chapter meetings.</p> <p>Scheduling and minimum audience sizes are at the discretion of the lecturer.</p> <p><strong>Strategy</strong>: The society will select the distinguished lecturers in various areas of BTS that have information on the latest research, and provide the means to travel to destinations to present the topic of interest.</p> <p><strong>Distinguished Lecturer Nominations</strong>: Complete the online  <a href="https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/b70d1fb696ad49979c28f0ebc4c0dffd">DL Nomination Form</a> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>To Request a BTS Distinguished Lecturer, the </strong>host <strong>and</strong> DL should:</p> <ul> <li>Based on the interests of its membership (<em>e.g.,</em> a benefiting organization in the region covered by the chapter), the host approves a topic and a lecturer.
