Virtual ProCAT Winners’ Retreat

Earlier this year we made you aware of our plans to take the Winners’ Retreat virtual for the safety and convenience of our clients. While there is nothing like sitting in a conference room at a resort with your colleagues, we have prepared the next best thing for you in an informative online seminar.
We have dug deep in last year’s survey results and recommendations to ensure we cover the topics that meet with your needs and more importantly are reflective of the times we live in. We are confident that you will benefit from these seminars for a long time to come.  Additionally, the trainers include expert staff, as well as working reporters who use these features and will share their real-life experiences with you.

Meet the trainers!

The cast of the experts and training professionals who are committed to making the Winners’ Retreat 2020 another success!

Ms. Pam Dogger

Pamela Dogger has been reporting since 1977 after training under Cathy Logan at Central Penn. Pam then did an internship in Baltimore for two years, and has been a freelance reporter for the last 42 years. Pam has been on ProCAT for the last 24 years and has helped with trainings as needed over these many years. She is an invaluable client with beta testing and her endeavors to constantly make the software the best! Pam writes realtime on a daily basis, provides realtime feeds to clients, and edits most of her own work. She truly utilizes all parts of the Winner software on a daily basis. Pam has an excellent understanding of what a reporter needs to get their work out the quickest, and would love to share this knowledge with you. She has mentioned she is amazed when she trains at conventions at how many of the excellent shortcuts and time-saving features are not being utilized by her fellow reporters. Pam is a member of NCRA, PCRA, and a notary in the states of PA, Maryland, and Delaware. We hope you join Pam at the Winners' Retreat this year and let her share with you how to be the best you can be!
