Education 3-Year Goals Strengthen the Distinguished Lecturer Program and Services, including tutorials. Develop and improve programs that support those underrepresented in our membership, including Young Professional (YP) and student members Increase awareness and opportunity for educational programs

Goal 1: Grow the Distinguished Lecturer Program Deliver more DLs and ensuring the program is aligning to meet the needs more members SMART Objective: Increase the number of Chapters and Sections with DL’s presented (Specific) year over year for 2018- keyed technically and geographically (Measurable and Timed) Led by Individual committee members assigned regionally and sub-regionally. LoMonte – R1/R7 (NY), Kaplan – R2/R3 (DC), Williams (R10/Oceana), Gustafsson – R8(Europe) , Kramer – R6/R9 Will strengthen our DL program (Goal 1) and increase awareness and opportunity for educational programs (Goal 3) (Relevant) 7/8/2019

Deliver more DLs and ensuring the program is aligning to meet the needs more members SMART Objective: Increase the number of Chapters and Sections with DL’s presented (Specific) year over year for 2018- keyed technically and geographically (Measurable and Timed) Comments on this objective: The number of DLs given and the number of lecturers have both increased dramatically in recent years. It would not be “smart” or “reasonable” to set dramatic further increases in either of those as an objective. Geographically, we have been supporting R10/Asia with 40% of budget support. It is not underserved in those terms. Technically, we have very high representation in Radar, and it is in some ways over-represented in terms of lecturers and DLs given. 7/8/2019

Short-Term Activities Related to Objective Education Committee members are charged with some geographic (and technical) advocacy Individuals consider report for their areas technically and geographically. Utilize improved geographic and technical distribution. DLs should be given where we have concentrations of members. Coordination with Member Services is essential Chapter formation should be supported and encouraged – work with and support Wicks’ committee efforts Resource Center and short course initiative should be supported within this. 7/8/2019
