We would like to notify all voting Members that this year you will receive your IEEE Computational Intelligence Society ballot material electronically for voting in the IEEE CIS Election on 6 October 2011 from ieee-cisvote@ieee.org.
You will need your IEEE Web Account username/password to access the ballot and cast your vote. This is the same account information used to access IEEE online services such as renewing your membership, myIEEE, and Xplore. It is recommended you test your web account access at http://www.ieee.org/myieee to avoid any potential problems with accessing your ballot. If you do not recall your web account information, you may go to: http://www.ieee.org/web/accounts to recover. You may also email contactcenter@ieee.org or call +1 800 678 4333 (USA/Canada) or +1 732 981 0060 (Worldwide).
If you receive this message and would like to cast your ballot electronically, you need do nothing more. On 6 October 2011, you will receive another email (sent to this same email address) with election instructions and a link for voting online. The voting period is expected to be 6 October - 17 November 2011.
If you prefer to have the paper ballot material mailed to you, please e-mail your name, address, member number, and reference the CIS election ballot to ieee-cisvote@ieee.org or call +1 732 562 3904. When the election ballots are sent out, your ballot will be physically mailed to you rather than sent electronically.
If you have any questions please contact Jo-Ellen Snyder at j.e.snyder@ieee.org or call +1 732 465 5892.

IEEE CIS Distinguished Lecture Program: Call For Nominations
The CIS Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) supports local CIS Chapters and CIS members by helping them to invite leading researchers in their respective fields. DLP speakers act as ambassadors of the society during their visit to local chapters and forster professional activities in the area. CIS DLP conducts a successful year in 2011, with 11 talks completed/scheduled this calendar year. We expect to accomplish several more DLP visits this year based on the requests by local chapters. Chapter Chairs still have the opportunity to request DLP visits for this calendar year, so members could benefit from the great opportunity provided by the DLP. http://ieee-cis.org/members/dlp/
Nominations are sollicited for Distinguished Lecturers for the period of 2012-2014. Nominations can be made by the following CIS members: Chapter Chairs, TC Chairs, AdCom/ExCom Members, EICs, and past distinguished lecturers . Nominations should be submitted to the Chair of the CIS Distinguished Lecturer Program, Robert Kozma rkozma55@gmail.com . Please submit nominations and/or encourage qualified members to nominate DLP speakers by the AUGUST 31, 2011 deadline. For further details on the nomination process and the DLP please visit http://cnd.memphis.edu/dlp/ or http://ieee-cis.org/members/dlp/.
