Users' Committee Information and Meeting Minutes

The ARC 3.5m Users' Committee plays an important role in representing the interests of the broad user community. Each institutional member of ARC (including leasing partners) has a Users' Committee (UC) representative who participates in monthly teleconferences. The UC representatives serve as a conduit of information - both from the users to the management team as well as from the management to the users. The current (2025) UC representatives are as follows:
