<p class="MsoPlainText">LANSCE Users,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The LANSCE User Group annual election is currently underway and runs only through 3 February. Selecting the LUG Executive Committee members is your principal opportunity for expressing your opinions about LANSCE.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Three slots on the Executive Committee are rolling over, plus the one-year student position. The LUG Executive Committee is your voice to LANSCE and LANSCE's sponsors and has a surprisingly large influence and role, so your vote is critical
in ensuring that your ideas for LANSCE are carried out. The LUG and the Executive Committee operate under the charter, which needs continual updates as LANSCE evolves, as is reflected in the three amendments recommended by the Committee for your approval.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Follow the link to the ballot for both the Executive Committee members and the charter amendments and that also contains the candidates' statements:http://lansce.lanl.gov/users/lug/lugelection.shtml<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The proposed charter amendments may be found at: <a href="http://lansce.lanl.gov/users/lug/lugcharterproposed.shtml">

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Don't underestimate the importance of your vote. We appreciate your involvement and support, so please take a few minutes and cast your ballot!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
