Dear JLab Users,<br>
<br>
Thank you for helping make the annual Users Group Meeting a
success. I am the new User Group Chair.<br>
<br>
The Users Group Meeting had an excellent collection of talks
covering JLab physics, the physics of the NSAC Long Range Plan, and
LIGO, as well as accelerator status, funding agency reports and lab
management presentations (<u><a moz-do-not-send="true"
