Speakers List (FY 2014-15) - Association for Women Geoscientists
AWG Distinguished Lecturer Program Welcome to the AWG Distinguished Lecturer Program! We have a wide array of lecturers available to speak to your group. The AWG Foundation, a non-profit organization, receives donations to help offset the travel costs of these speakers (up to $800). To arrange for approval of a lecturer engagement or for more information, please contact: Camille Partin AWG Distinguished Lecturer Coordinator [email protected] AWG DLP WEBSITE: http://www.awg.org/AWG_PPDLP/index.htm For more information on AWG and its programs, please see our website (www.awg.org) or email [email protected] Last updated Jan. 29, 2015 How to Apply for Funding • • • • • 1. 2. 3. All academic institutions, including University and College departments or science clubs/organizations, as well as State Geological Surveys, are invited to apply for funding to host a lecturer from the AWG Lectures List. If in doubt, ask the Lecture Coordinator. Organizations may ask for up to $800 to fund the lecturer’s visit and should provide details of the expected costs. Only one award is to be given to any organization in one year. There is no problem if two organizations ask for the same lecturer. Funding covers the expenses of hosting an AWG lecturer at the institution. Funds are not to benefit the individual: thus, an honorarium is not included in the expenses. Regular and normal travel expenses (airfare, other transportation, meals, lodging) are all applicable costs that could be funded. It is also helpful if the sponsoring institution is able to provide funding for some of the costs so that the requested amount is in line with the maximum allowable grant amount. Funding decisions are the prerogative of the Lecture Coordinator Please follow this procedure to apply for a grant: Contact a lecturer from the list. Settle on a tentative date for the talk, and determine the transportation, lodging, and incidental costs of the visit. Write a letter or email to the Lecture Coordinator including all of the pertinent information, and stress your intention to expose your students to the women geoscientists. Plan for sufficient time for processing the request (several weeks) so that a talk will not be scheduled in advance of AWG being able to approve reimbursement to your department. After the lecture please provide a report of the event including the following documentation and information to insure prompt reimbursements to the lecture coordinator: – the number of people in attendance and % women – describe the audience – provide copies of flyers or other seminar advertising – give a brief description of the quality of the seminar and any other interactions between the lecturer and audience – Please submit all applicable receipts and request for reimbursement to the AWG Lecture Coordinator.
