Respected Speakers

The IEEE EMC Society Respected Speakers Bureau

The EMC Society has established the Respected Speakers Bureau to provide local chapters with a list of speakers that are well respected and are recommended to the Chapters as possible speakers (in addition to the Distinguished Lecturer program). These speakers may be past Distinguished Lecturers or other well known and respected EMC professionals.

Travel for these speakers is not funded by the society but may be funded by local chapters or may be in conjunction with other travel by the speaker (resulting in no extra travel costs). Angel funds may also be possible to help support this activity.

The list of Respected Speakers is growing, so keep looking at the list for your favorite speaker! The initial speakers that have agreed to serve the society in this manner are listed below. If you have any suggestions for additional speakers please contact Ram Achar at achar@rogers.com.
