FEO Lecture.

At the General-Assembly of FEO in Belgrade October 2003 the proposal to establish the FEO Annual Lecture was approved.

The aim is to allow a distinguished speaker to present at the Annual Conference of a FEO member Society at minimal cost to that Society.

The FEO speaker will present at the Conference of a member society which is hosting the FEO General-Assembly.

The FEO lecturer will be selected by the host society from a list of speakers proposed by FEO societies and short listed by the FEO Board. The host society can if they wish choose not to select or host a FEO lecture.

1. The Host Society will advise the Secretary-General of FEO the theme/s for their Annual Conference.
2. The FEO Secretary-General will circulate all member societies of FEO [including corresponding societies] with the theme/s and request a nomination for a speaker.
3. The nomination does not have to be a member of the nominating society.
4. The nominations will be considered by the FEO Board. The FEO Board must have the right to amend the list taking into account the constitutional role of FEO and the financial implications.
5. The host society will be offered the final list of names and invited, if they choose, to select a name.
6. The FEO will pay travel expenses for the FEO speaker.
7. The host society will pay accommodation for the FEO speaker.

It is hoped that this venture will allow member societies, some with limited funds, to have the opportunity of hosting a distinguished speaker to the benefit of their members.
