[All_jlau] Message from the Director

[Pat Stroop]

                                             January 22, 2016


Dear colleagues, staff and users of Jefferson Lab,

I have decided that the time has come to resign my position as Director 
of Jefferson Lab.

We have enjoyed numerous challenges over the past seven years or so, and 
have achieved a good number of successes as the laboratory consolidated 
its position among the major nuclear physics facilities in the world. I 
have often taken pride in your achievements and I believe the laboratory 
is well positioned for the future. We enjoy a privileged position with 
excellent support from both the local and broader communities and a user 
community from across the world. You have done much to make Jefferson 
Lab strong and I am grateful to DOE, to JSA, and to you for the 
opportunity this adventure afforded us.

JSA/SURA will shortly announce that they intend to form a search 
committee. Our plan is for me to continue as Director until my 
replacement is installed.  I will be working to ensure as smooth a 
transition as possible, and I would like to request your help with this. 
I am hoping that we can start by getting a substantial physics run at 12 
GeV under our belts during the upcoming accelerator operations period.

Yours Sincerely,

Mont
