The APSUO Steering Committee (SC) advises the
Advanced Photon Source Director on matters
affecting the user community, serves as an advocacy
group for the Facility and its user community, and
assures good communication between the APS user
community and the APS management. Furthermore, the
APSUO is responsible for organizing the APS Users
Meetings. Consequently, it is important that all
segments of the APS community are represented on
the APSUO SC.
