We represent the ALS User Community
The ALS Users Executive Committee (UEC) represents the interests
of all students, post-docs and scientists who perform research at
the ALS. The UEC provides a channel of communication between the ALS
user community and ALS management, conveying the concerns and needs
of the user community to management, and providing a means for
management to update users on current and future plans for the
facility. The UEC also facilitates communication between the ALS and
other synchrotrons, and between users and federal funding agencies.
With the support of the ALS staff, the UEC organizes and runs the
annual ALS Users' Meeting, held each Fall at LBNL. Members are elected annually
by ALS users and serve three year terms.
