<P><BR>As you may know the demands on the Lab's Cryogenics Department have increased considerably with the start of 12 GeV commissioning activities where we will eventually operate 5 helium refrigeration plants simultaneously vs the 3 that were running during 6 GeV operations. Additionally, significant work for others tasks have been taken on to support the construction of the FRIB accelerator at Michigan State University and more recently the planning/design/construction of the LCLS II facility at SLAC. Any one of these tasks is a significant undertaking on its own but when they are combined it is a daunting task to support all of them. To better address this challenge we are reorganizing the Cryogenics Department within the Engineering Division to allow more focused efforts to support each one of these projects and ongoing JLab operations. Additionally, to address upcoming succession plans we are shuffling the leadership of the Department to utilize the vast experiences of Dana Arenius and Rao Ganni to help train our next generation of leaders. In this action, Jonathan Creel will become the Department head with Kelly Dixon as his deputy and the leader of the Cryogenic Engineering and Design Branch. Peter Knudsen will lead the key area of Cryogenic Process Design while Mat Wright will assume leadership of the Plant Operations portion of the Department's activities with Sasa Radovic as his deputy. Scott Thompson will remain as the lead of the Fabrication Shop. Dana and Rao will report to me in their roles as mentors for the entire Departmental staff. A detailed organizational chart will be posted on the Engineering website by <SPAN id=OBJ_PREFIX_DWT8318_com_zimbra_date class=Object><FONT color=#00008b>May 2</FONT></SPAN>. <BR><BR>To support project activities, Dana Arenius will lead the LCLS II effort reporting to George Neil, while Kelly Dixon will lead the efforts to support FRIB. <BR><BR>I want to thank Dana and Rao for their many years of support of Jefferson Lab and the associated successes that are recognized throughout the cryogenic world. I look forward to several more years of their help addressing our current challenges and to continue training the next generation of cryogenic experts. I would also like to thank those in the Department who are taking on new roles and the challenges that those roles present. <BR><BR>These changes are effective immediately but it is recognized that the Department will migrate into this new structure as we learn to work in this new paradigm.<BR><BR>For our customers, continue your interactions with your current points of contacts. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these transitions and will keep you informed if and when changes affect our services to you. <BR><BR>Will<BR><BR><BR>-- <BR></P>
