The NCAR Scientists Assembly (NSA) has been invited by the UCAR Director, Tony Busalacchi, to provide input to that process over the next month. Please read on for the plans, and how you can be involved. This will be the major pathway for NCAR scientific staff to provide input to the process. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">The NSA will be given the opportunity to pose questions to the final candidates for the NCAR Director during on-site interviews. These will be conducted by the NSA Executive Committee (EC), which has members from each of the NCAR Laboratories, representing a range of job classes and levels. We will use a common list of questions. After the visit, we will provide input and a collective perspective. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">The NSA EC would like this process to be as open as possible to incorporate as many diverse perspectives as we can.
