Mission
The mission of the GA-ESI Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) Users' Group is to provide a professional organization dedicated to assisting the members in the effective management of their RMS, thereby protecting the health and safety of their employees and the public. This is accomplished through the following:

* Communication between GA-ESI and the members
* Communication between the members
* Opportunities for professional development and training

Membership
Membership is open to all utilities or facilities, both domestic and foreign. Voting membership is limited to utilities that own GA-ESI RMS equipment. Other users and/or individuals may take advantage of the Users' Group opportunities as non-voting members or as non-members (subject to the Users' Group Charter Bylaws). Participants represent the various disciplines with RMS responsibilities, i.e., health physics, instrumentation & control, maintenance, chemistry, and engineering. Officers are utility members elected by the membership.

Meetings
Meetings are normally held semiannually, in the spring and fall. GA-ESI headquarters or host utilities provide meeting locations. Prior to each meeting an agenda is prepared by the Users' Group Chairman and is composed of:

* User presentations; topics such as operation, maintenance, calibration, licensing, engineering
* Invited speakers presentations; topics by representatives of regulatory agencies, national labs, research institutes, GA-ESI subcontractors, etc.
* GA-ESI presentations; new developments, product improvements, user feedback
* Breakout sessions; informal group discussions of related topics, problems and solutions related to specific disciplines
* Open forum; user questions and concerns are voiced and discussed Technical subcommittee meetings are formed and scheduled as necessary for specific topics. GA-ESI training classes, workshops, and host plant tours are often held in conjunction with the meetings.
