APS User Organization Value Statement
The APS Users Organization Steering Committee (APSUO SC) is wholly committed to fostering a culture and providing a safe space that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion. We value the diversity that all APS users can bring in terms of different origins, races, ethnicities, genders, communities, ages, religious beliefs, scientific disciplines, geographic locations, and institutional affiliations. The Steering Committee strives to support and represent the voices of all users from all scientific endeavors: the APS user community has a voice through the APSUO SC. Any questions, comments or concerns can be shared through Ask the APSUO.
