Disscussion and Vote on Certificates for Friday seminars
by Bruce Williams July 31, 2020

July 31, 2020

Now that we hvae an automated process in place (which works for most of us), I wanted to bring a possible course of action to the group for a vote. To this point, we have been producing certificates only for the Tuesday seminars that provide RACE credits. However, I get quite a few requests from people (especially our international attendees) for certificates for our Free Friday Seminars as well. I know that in this country they are little more than a piece of paper (especially when you take the RACE stuff out of it), but I think they carry a lot more weight in vet schools in developing countries. At any rate, now that we can churn them out at little cost and fairly quickly, I think they would be very appreciated and would look very good for the organization as well. This is how it would work - we would just have one person sign up for each seminar, and following the seminar's end, I would send them a copy of the names (everyone for paid seminars, just the attendees for the free ones), much like I did this week. Then the person "on duty" runs them through Autocrat (or can hand jam them in case of a small turnout (I think we will be less than 100 for Small Ruminants on Tuesday). I'm going to do POLA next week (we are currently at 140) and will give me a chance to further polish my Autocrat skills. I would like to put this to a vote on the committee, as it you will be affected by it. I think overall it will lessen the workload..but it is on your backs.... This idea has already been put to the Ad Hoc Meetings Committee (a group of the Board who has meetings oversight, and although not all the votes are in, we already have enough votes and no dissenting votes, so I will put it to all of you. I would like to finish discussion and voting (and you can just vote if you want) NLT next Thursday, so we can start out August's FFS with a certificate (it's John Cullen on Chronic Hepatitis and one you should all be at! I've seen it about 5 times and its a great lecture. b

Certificate names and assignments for Black Voices
by Bruce Williams July 30, 2020

July 30, 2020

Hi folks - todays report shows 560 attendees at our Black Voices in Pathology meeting yesterday. Quite a turnout. (Yes, there were 1070 registrants), but we are only sending certificates to the people who tuned in (even for 30 seconds) - and I have already provided certificates to the people who through no fault of their own, couldn't log in. Well I said it would be all hands on deck for certificates today, so I am sending out the lists and numbers you are responsible for. - a few of you lucky people get a pass, but if you are really disappointed, let me know! If you want to add the survey link to your email, it is https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3TN9RMP OK - Laura and I have mastered the automation part (thanks to her outstanding instructions and it is all in the Google Drive if you want to try it out on your own). Can you send out the following? Sophia - 1-50 - (Pinilla through Tatiersky) Whitney - 51-100 (Frontera-Acevedo through Powell Sheryl - 101-150 (Castillo Fonseca through Fujita) Rachel - 150 - 200 (Saladino through Behr) Brigid - 201-250 (Muller through Massida) Rafaela - 251-300 (Teodoro through Murray) Laura B - you get a break - you are our Friday speaker. We need to set up a dry run tomorrow) Neha - 301-350 (Mehana through Novak) Paco - giving you a pass, I know how much setting up these meetings takes out of your day Jim - a pass for you - just keep pushing the RACE stuff through Jeann - a pass for the artist - just keep cranking out those flyers! Laura S - 351-450 (Bailey through Del Piero) Me - (451-560) (Pulecio to Crawford) I appreciate the help from each and every one of you, and I consider yesterdays meeting a bit of Foundation history, and maybe for our entire field. b P.S. - If you can't get these out by tomorrow, please let me know - not a problem.

Going to be a big day!
by Bruce Williams July 28, 2020

July 28, 2020

1075 registrants - our first sellout and MORE! (While we have 1000 seats, I don't think it will be full at any one given point, and if one person leaves, that opens up a seat for another. On another note, I followed the wonderful step-by-step instructions that Laura put in the Google Drive for automating certificate filling and email, and it worked like a charm. I will go ahead and send everyone 50 names and addresses tomorrow and you can try the automation, or just hand jam them as usual, but I know everyone wants to be a part of this little moment in Foundation history.... b

Black Voices certificate and automation video from Laura S
by Bruce Williams July 27, 2020

July 27, 2020

Tomorrow is our Black Voices in Pathology Seminar and we have a sellout! We are currently at 1050 registrants. It is an all hands on deck to get the certificates out this time! Laura has figured out a way to automate the process and I have uploaded the video to the Google Drive at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mWvAyoLf7tbfGXinG5HN1XUVChlKAadA <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mWvAyoLf7tbfGXinG5HN1XUVChlKAadA> This week, certificates do not need to go out until Wednesday, as I need to download a list of the people that actually signed in (as the RACE CE was free). As long as jokes signed in for even 30 seconds, they will get the certificate. My plan is to send everyone 50, so in case you don’t get the automation part down (I am going to try it tomorrow!), it won’t be too onerous. Laura is do the lion’s share Wednesday, as she has the automation down. So expect a spreadsheet on Wednesday, and a list of which emails are “yours”. Jeann and Jim - you are exempt! b

Who's up for filling out a couple of RACE applications?
by Bruce Williams July 22, 2020

July 22, 2020

We need a couple of RACE applications filled out - it’s only about a half-hour apiece, and then you send the application to Jim Britt (jobritt(a)sbcglobal.net <mailto:jobritt@sbcglobal.net>). A “go-by” is attached. Jim - here are the flyers in .pdf format, and I’ll get you the eval sheets pronto! (these are the three things Jim needs to send into RACE, and he has been getting these approved in about 10 days!
