NSLS Symposium Series Committee

1. Introduction
   The goal of the NSLS Symposium Series is to have bi-monthly seminars in various fields that are of interest to NSLS staff and users.  They will take place every other Tuesday from 10:30-11:30 AM.  The format of the seminars is to be "academia style," where the invited speaker will give a full length seminar (45-50 minutes), and then spend the remainder of the day meeting with interested staff/users.



2. Charge
   The NSLS Symposium Series Committee will consist of NSLS staff members that represent each of the NSLS divisions (ES&H, Engineering and Operations, Accelerators, and User Science).  Each division may nominate up to 4 members to sit on the committee.  The term for each committee member is 1 year.
   
   The NSLS Symposium Series Committee will meet monthly
(or as necessary) to propose and discuss upcoming seminars and speakers.  For each meeting, committee members are responsible for polling the members of their division for topics with them to the meeting.  Proposed speakers will be discussed and selected speakers will be agreed upon at each meeting.  Once speakers have been identified, it is the responsibility of the proposing committee member to invite the speaker and coordinate the travel arrangements, schedule, and advertising with the Administrative Assistant.
