We hope you are staying healthy and safe. To those of you working in plants, transport, and on farms, we thank you very much for your efforts and long hours!!!
As you can imagine, our training schedule has been disrupted. We are rescheduling all trainings through at least May 15. If you are registered for a training during that time and we reschedule it we will contact you as soon as we know the new proposed dates. Each month, we will assess and move other trainings as needed. It is our intent to hold at least one training of each type in 2020 unless circumstances dictate otherwise.
Some of you have asked about waivers for continuing education requirements. At this time we will not be offering blanket waivers because each of you has a year to complete them, BUT, if you were scheduled to attend a meeting that was cancelled, please contact us and we’ll help you explore alternatives. We are working on a list of online options and as always internal meetings that you have on the topic of animal welfare, handling and/or health will count toward your hours.
