[IRIS]

REMINDER!
2009 IRIS/SSA Distinguished Lectureship
Call for Nominations

IRIS and SSA are pleased to announce the seventh year of this jointly- 
sponsored annual national lecture series in seismology.  The selection  
committee seeks nominations from the seismological community for two  
lecturers for 2009.  The general goal of the program is to increase  
the general public’s awareness of relevance and excitement for  
seismology through increased exposure.

Each of the two lectures will be given at least four times to general  
audiences at museums, universities or other public venues with target  
audiences of 200 or more.  The general scope of the research presented  
must have clear and acknowledged tie-ins to SSA and IRIS. Lecturers  
must be resident in the US during 2009.  IRIS Education and Outreach  
and SSA will cover costs and assist with presentation, preparation,  
travel and other expenses.  Each lecturer will also receive a $1000  
honorarium.

Nominations must include a vision statement, including a specific  
description of how the proposed presentation will fulfill the outreach  
goals of the lectureship program.  Past experience and perspective on  
successfully communicating seismological ideas to large public  
audiences are desirable.  Self-nominations are encouraged.  For full  
consideration, nominations must be received by February 15, 2008.
