SAB/CAB Liaison
Objective
To provide qualified members of the Standards
community to address IEEE-CS chapter
meetings
To present the criteria that the Chapters
Activities Board (CAB) uses to identify
qualified speakers
To solicit nominations for speakers on
standards-related topics

IEEE-CS Distinguished Visitors
Program
A roster of qualified speakers who
address IEEE-CS professional and
student chapters
List of speakers and topics is updated
annually

Logistics
Prospective speakers apply for inclusion in
the Distinguished Visitors Program (DVP)
Chapters submit requests for speakers on
topics of interest
Neighboring chapters are encouraged to
collaborate, so that a speaker can visit two or
more chapters on a single trip (to reduce
traveling expenses)
Visit requests, nominations for speakers, and
comments or questions are submitted to the
Volunteer Services Coordinator (VSC)

Logistics (cont.)
All DVP visits must be approved in
advance by the DVP Chair
IEEE-CS reimburses up to $700 for
inter-city travel for approved visits to
professional and student chapters
Chapters pay local expenses (hotel,
meals, rental car, etc.)

The DVP Chair solicits nominations for
