Dear UCAR Community,
Last month's annual UCAR Members Meeting was a great success, and it is always a treat to meet with representatives from our member institutions. We covered various important topics related to the future of UCAR and NSF NCAR.
I am thrilled to share that the members elected five new UCAR trustees to its ranks, and we also welcomed five new member institutions to the UCAR consortium. You can read the full news release linked below from our news website.
Thank you to all of our member representatives and community members for making this year's meeting so valuable.
Sincerely,
Antonio Busalacchi
UCAR President
