IEEE - Aerospace and Electronic Systems - April 2021 - 35

2021 Aerospace & Electronics Systems Society Distinguished Lecturers
Contact: Lorenzo Lo Monte, Vice President - Education
All AESS Chapters and IEEE Sections are encouraged to take advantage of the AESS Distinguished Lecturer for their regular or special meetings,
allowing them to select from an outstanding list of truly distinguished speakers who are experts in the technical fields of the society. For specifics on
how to obtain a speaker, please see our website at http://ieee-aess.org/education/distinguished-lecturer-and-tutorial-program.
We are also excited to announce a return to the IEEE AESS Virtual Distinguished Lecturer Webinar Series. This initiative allows us to continue
providing AESS members with our respected and reputable Distinguished Lecturer program during these uncertain times. Access to the webinars is
completely free and is available through registration on our website. Webinars will also be streamed live on Facebook, and recordings will be available
following the event on the IEEE Learning Network. For more information, please see our website at http://ieee-aess.org/webinar-series-home
