Dear Professor Anna-Rita Attili, The Evaluation Committee has reviewed your application to be recognised as a De Facto Diplomate. We are delighted to inform you that they have recommended that your application is accepted, and this decision has been approved by the Executive Committee. De Facto Diplomates must meet the same criteria as Founding Members, outlined in the ECVM Bylaws, and in the EBVS Policies and Procedures document. The Evaluation Committee objectively reviewed your application against each criterion and found in your favour. We would also like to inform you that although you have applied for recognition of your laboratory as an Approved Training Center, the Education Committee has recommended approval as a Satellite Training Centre and this decision has been endorsed by the Executive Committee. We will shortly send you a Certificate of Approval, which is valid for a period of 5 years, effective from today 20/05/2022. We warmly welcome you as a De Facto Diplomate of the ECVM. We expect and value your commitment and support in the building and development of our College. Moreover, we look forward to hearing about your contribution to Resident training. Dorina Timofte ECVM Secretary On behalf of the ECVM Executive Committee
