The UEC makes recommendations to CNMS management on matters affecting the user community such as operating policies and needs for facilities, infrastructure, and instrumentation. It also organizes the annual User Meeting. Users are encouraged to contact any member of the UEC with any suggestions for enhancing the benefits the community receives from CNMS.
