Background
The Joint US-Canada AtoM Users Group began in 2020. We discuss issues of interest identified in surveys carried out of group members. To date, we have 100 members on our mailing list from the US, Canada, and a small number from Europe. Originally, we held quarterly meetings, but now we meet twice yearly using Zoom. We also have a subgroup, the New Users Group, which makes training videos for our YouTube channel. We also have a subgroup, the New Users Group, which makes training videos for our YouTube channel.
