This is determined from information supplied on subsidy applications and in reports from previously subsidized visits. A report of the visit of a lecturer to each chapter that receives a subsidy is required and reviewed by the Committee. Hosts A pamphlet is available from Sigma Xi Headquarters that provides guidelines for both the Distinguished Lecturers and their host chapters. If you do not have a copy we encourage you to request one. The Committee meets each April to review subsidy applications and pick 16 or 17 new Distinguished Lecturers.
Most lecturers serve for two years so the new group adds to the second-year veterans.
The Committee is very interested in your comments and suggestions. I express my sincere appreciation to those who served so ably on this Committee and to our headquarters staff member, Deborah Donati.
