SAACC Charge<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Given the extensive use of AmLight by the astronomical community, the AmLight PI has convened a South American Astronomy Coordination Committee (SAACC) that is comprised of representatives from various astronomy projects who are conducting projects or operating observatories in South America. The current chair of the SAACC is Dr. R. Chris Smith, director of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory and head of mission for AURA Observatory in Chile, who provides oversight of the Chilean activities of CTIO, Gemini, SOAR, and LSST. The SAACC serves not only to provide input and advice to the AmLight PI and the Steering Committee on program and network needs, but also serves as a venue for coordinating the needs of these astronomical projects and institutions to improve their resource planning and implementation of operational connections between these distant facilities and users in the continental US.<\/p>\n
