PAC Impact

goodspecific advice on HENP program has been followedI see no reason to expect current ALD to do otherwise

increased scope to strategic planning is fairly newgood evidence that the advice in this area is listened to

formal (written) and informal (executive session)more difficult to implement quicklyI believe it’s a good idea to use PAC expertise to hone the

vision and articulation of the vision

Laboratory aims for & achieves good balance on the PAClong serving/new, different parts of program,

geographical, younger/older
