President’s Letter
By Mark James, DVM
March 2017
First off, I’d like to thank Dr. Bethany Funnel for her service leading the association last year. Thanks are also in order to the membership for the outstanding annual meeting survey response. The conference in St. Louis became a little more of an unforeseen challenge with the unpredictable and simultaneous Cardinals game. We do listen and we will use this feedback to plan future meetings in the best interest of our membership.
The Board and our committees have been leading the way with many efforts to enhance the association. These include continued efforts to strengthen certification, the efforts of the Membership Committee to recruit and retain students and new members to the association, and the ongoing efforts of the Education Committee to develop and implement our Modular Initiative. We would also like you to be aware of improvements and changes to the membership survey for this year and beyond to improve and simplify real E.T. data results. Likewise, we’d like you to know about the efforts of all of our members and committees to strengthen and enhance embryo transfer here in the states as well as abroad. Also, we would like to welcome Kory Bigalk, DVM, and Matthew Dorshorst, DVM, as the two newest members of the Board of Directors. (more…)
