February 2019 Message from the UEC

Contact: Fanny Rodolakis, UEC Chair

The ALS Users’ Executive Committee (UEC) met last week for our second meeting of the year. Alex Frano (UC San Diego) was elected Vice Chair; he will serve as UEC chair in 2020. Johanna Nelson Weker and Kelsey Stoerzinger are our new User Meeting co-chairs. They are putting together an exciting program for the upcoming User Meeting, which will be held October 1–3 of this year. We are always eager to hear from the user community and staff for speaker recommendations, so please continue to send us your suggestions!

Another outcome of our meeting was to identify some areas we would like to focus on this year. The success of the UEC depends on active user participation. As such, we would like to continue to focus on engaging users to get active feedback in order to provide more effective advice to the ALS management on matters affecting the user community.  Another important aspect is to facilitate communication between users while they are at the facility. We have come up with some possible solutions that we are working to implement; we look forward to rolling them out soon—stay tuned!

Finally, remember, the UEC represents your interests in many matters related to the ALS and the ALS-U Project. Please contact any of the UEC members if you have suggestions, comments, or questions!
