Committees
The Advanced Microscopy Facility is overseen by two committees:
| User oversight committee |
| Management committee |
The user oversight committee represents the user community. It reviews the operations of the laboratory and discuses how to use the lab for scientific and engineering purposes. The committee director is our academic director Dr. Rodney Herring, and the members are representatives of physical sciences, biological sciences, and engineering. The director of the user oversight committee will report to the Associate VP Research Dr. Rachael Scarth who in turn reports to the University of Victoria's VP Research Dr. Howard Brunt, who in turn reports to the University of Victoria's president, Dr. David H. Turpin.
The management committee is responsible for financial management and construction of the laboratory. Its members come from the many departments in the university that have a vested interest in the facility.
