The SSRL Users' Organization (SSRLUO) is
broadly concerned with representing the interests of the SSRL users
(see Charter). An executive committee (SSRLUOEC) is the
formal organizational unit of the SSRLUO. They host an annual Users' Meeting
which provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent user
developments and experimental results as well as future plans. Users elect
members to serve on the Executive Committee to carry out the business of the
SSRLUO.

SSRLUO functions include: sponsoring and presenting the
Annual Farrel W. Lytle Award to promote important technical or scientific
accomplishments in synchrotron radiation-based science and user service;
holding graduate student poster competition at the annual meeting;
coordinating periodic surveys to get user feedback and suggestions (see
2008
survey results); meeting 3-4
times a year (meeting schedule) to
discuss issues and coordinate activities - meetings typically include
presentations by SSRL staff and management. The SSRLUOEC also coordinates
activities with representatives from other DOE user facilities to promote and
sustain support for basic sciences as well as user facilities such as SSRL to
numerous constituencies. (see meeting minutes)
SSRLUOEC members serve 3-year terms, with the Chair and Vice-Chair elected by
the SSRLUOEC (Chair serves for 1 year; Vice-Chair rotates into the chair
position the following year; former Chair serves as ex-officio for 1 year).
The SSRLUOEC Chair gives presentations to the SSRL Scientific Advisory
Committee, Proposal Review Panel, and the SLAC Scientific Policy Committee.
The Vice Chair co-organizes the annual User's Meeting along with an SSRL
scientific staff member.
Comments and suggestions regarding user
concerns that should be addressed by the Executive Committee are always
welcome. Please reference the SSRLUOEC
2008 page for a list of current representatives and contact
information.
