After tallying your votes, the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s User Executive Committee (UEC) has welcomed seven new members picked to represent you.
During the election period from October 20 to November 6, 2020, 260 votes were cast virtually. Twenty-one candidates appeared on the ballot.
New members, whose terms began January 1, 2021, are listed below with their home institutions and the science themes they were selected to represent on the UEC. The themes were previously covered by members who rolled off after serving up to four years.
The UEC is charged with providing objective, timely feedback to ARM leadership with respect to the user experience. Reporting to ARM Technical Director Jim Mather, the UEC serves as the official voice of the user community in its interactions with ARM management.
Most of the new members will serve four-year terms. The early career representative will rotate off the UEC in two years along with the current returning members.
