LOOKING FOR
WAREHOUSE SPACE?
The tenant of our building in Cypress
has advised us that he is not renewing his lease on May 1. The SCVMA is
looking for a new tenant to take over
3,800 square feet of warehouse space
in the building. If you are interested
in storing your old files, radiographs,
1965 Mustang or other items that
veterinarians tend to hoard, we have
the space for you. Interested parties,
please reach out to lperez@scvma.org.

REQUESTS FOR CE
CERTIFICATE REPRINTS
Both licensed veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians are required to
meet statewide continuing education mandates. For many, the SCVMA has been a
source for the required CE certification, providing both the classes and required certificates. For licenses that are audited, these certificates will be required to authenticate completion of the CE course.
The SCVMA offices have been receiving an inordinate number of requests for
reprinting of lost CE certificates going back to 2019. Filling these requests is very
time consuming because our old association management software is not able to
automatically do so. The introduction of the new software has helped, and the past
year of virtual CEs are readily tracked.
To account for staff time in locating and reprinting CE certificates, the board authorized an immediate $75 fee for any requests for duplicate CE certificates from members who have lost their original certificates. This does not apply to those of you
who may have had difficulty downloading your certificate and making an immediate
request for assistance.
