Your votes have been processed, and eight new ARM User Executive Committee (UEC) members have been elected. They represent a set of science themes previously covered by members who rolled off after serving up to four years. Twenty-one nominees appeared on the ballot. ARM held a virtual election from October 22 to November 6, 2018, in which 193 of you voted.
New members are listed below along with their home institutions and the areas they were chosen to represent. Where a candidate received high votes in more than one category, multiple categories are listed with the primary category first.
The UEC will continue to be an independent body providing objective, timely feedback to ARM leadership with respect to the user experience. Reporting directly to the ARM technical director in his capacity as chair of the ARM Infrastructure Management Board, the committee serves as the official voice of the user community in its interactions with ARM management.
Two years from now, the other incumbents will rotate out, following ARM’s staggered replacement plan. The one exception is the Early Career Representative, who is elected every two years. In this way, ARM ensures continuity and change, staying closely aligned with user requirements.
