4 potential members are attending the WAEH meeting and will present during the ‘Potential new member update’ (no application received)

Wrap up
David Probert
  • Update by MVZ and WO review moments to promote the WAEH in the year more proactively – will be programmed on the agenda of the next board meeting
    • Possibility: Extra board meeting during AAO – 12 – 15 October 2019 – location: San Francisco – we can organize the extra board meeting together with our full member in SF – Rick Seefeldt is current also the chair of the AAEECE – the WAEH is welcome to visit his eye hospital
  • Next board meetings:
    • The board has been invited to send in their dates of approval via an online system called Cally – however the system does not seem very fit to be used inside hospitals (especially the US based ones): MVZ will look for a different system next year.
