Ezra Heitowit will act as executive secretary to the committee, which will meet for the first time in person on Nov. 12 in Chicago. A second meeting is planned for Dec. 11-12 at Fermilab, at which time committee members will meet with lab staff and scientists.
Throughout the director search process, the committee welcomes and encourages input, nominations and feedback from all Fermilab stakeholders: lab employees, users, residents of the local community and members of the national and international particle physics communities.
