Governance Meetings (and a Very Special Thank You)

Members of the 2018 AOC-G and Gemini/AURA staff take time out for a group photo in the Gemini North Control Room during their May 2018 meeting.

In mid-May the STAC, AOC-G and Gemini Board met for a full week of meetings at the Hilo Base Facility. Both committees and the Board deserve a special thanks for all of their work on Gemini’s behalf. You can find the Science and Technology Advisory Committee’s (STAC’s) report here and the Board resolutions here.

Of special note, the AURA Oversight Committee for Gemini (AOC-G) met for its final time on May 15-16^th. Henceforth, this function is consolidated under the NCOA organizational structure. Over the years the AOC-G has worked tirelessly to advise Gemini’s management and shape the Observatory’s future. We ask that you join us in thanking the current (and past) members for their efforts and considerable time commitments.
