Arrange for a Lecturer
Domestic lecturers tour the U.S., Canada and Mexico, while international speakers are listed separately. Abstracts contain an outline of the lecture subject as well as speaker biographical information. As tour itineraries become available, they are posted on this site.
The AAPG staff works directly with participating university and society lecture program chairs to schedule Distinguished Lecturers domestically. If you do not know the name of your local group's chair, please contact Lorry Richardson.
Program Funding
The Distinguished Lecture program is fully funded through the AAPG Foundation and administered by AAPG staff. To offset some of the travel expenses, host groups have some financial responsibilities.
