Dear CEDAR Community members,


We would like to remind the CEDAR community of the upcoming deadline for
nominations for the *2017 CEDAR Prize lecture and Distinguished lecture*,
both of which are due by 28 February.  The text of the original call for
the two nominations is below.


Scott England & Jonathan Makela


=======Distinguished Lecture=======

The *CEDAR Distinguished Lecture* was instituted in 2009 to recognize
individuals within the CEDAR community that have made sustained
professional contributions to CEDAR. This distinguished award refers to a
long-term, sustained body of work over a period greater than 10 years, that
has helped shape the CEDAR program through research and service. The
recipient of the award presents an invited plenary lecture at the annual
CEDAR workshop in June on a topic of their choice.


The CEDAR Distinguished Lecture is open to non-U.S. citizens as well as
U.S. citizens, provided a strong connection to the CEDAR community can be
demonstrated. The nomination should be based on significant research and
service to the CEDAR community sustained over a period of at least ten
years prior to the June CEDAR workshop.

A nomination consists of two items:

1  Name of nominee; and
