The Unidata Program Center is pleased to welcome a new member to the Unidata Users Committee. Committee members serve three-year terms, meeting twice each year to provide feedback on the effectiveness of the Unidata Program and advise staff on issues facing the university community. Appointments reflect the range of large and small colleges and universities with undergraduate and graduate emphases where Unidata systems are in use.
Note: new committee members have traditionally begun their terms in the fall, and the committees will be welcoming additional new members later in 2021. A variety of factors, including an existing empty committee position and the new member's immediate availability, allow the Users Committee to appoint a new member at this time. You can find additional information about the governing committees, including contact information for committee members, on the Governing Committees page.
