LCLS Users' Organization Executive Committee
The LCLS Users' Organization (LCLS UO) will provide an organized framework and independent vehicle for interaction between the scientists who will use the Linac Coherent Light Source (the users) and LCLS/SLAC Management. The LCLS UO is broadly concerned with representing the interests of the LCLS users to SLAC management, so as to facilitate the availability and effective use of LCLS for the research community.
The LCLS Users’ Executive Committee (LCLS UEC) is the formal organizational unit of the LCLS UO. LCLS UEC members are elected by the members of the LCLS user community. The UOEC communicates the needs and desires of users regarding LCLS operating policies, use of LCLS, user support, and other relevant issues of concern to those engaged in research at this facility.

Representatives to the LCLS UEC are nominated and elected from the general user community from various disciplines including:
- AMO Science (AMO)
- X-ray Pump-Probe (XPP)
- Coherent X-ray Imaging (CXI)
- X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy (XCS)
- Soft X-ray Science (SXR)
- Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC)
LCLS UEC members serve a three-year term, with the exception of the person elected Chair, who serves on the committee two additional years to facilitate continuity of LCLS UEC activities.
How to Vote
Users are encouraged to vote to elect their representatives on the LCLS Users’ Organization Executive Committee by completing the on-line ballot before October 19.
Candidates are elected by the LCLS user community by majority vote. Election results will be announced at the Users’ Meeting on October 20. All newly elected members begin their term following the Users' Meeting; the next LCLS UEC meeting will be held on the afternoon of October 20 in the Panofsky Auditorium.
