I did some thinking and an asynchronous timer is the only thing I came up with.  It works, but I don't like the static half second delay.  I'm hoping someone will jump in with a better solution. 

    Public Overrides Function Run(param As Integer) As MCamReturn

        Dim solidsMask = New GeometryMask(False, False, False, False, False, False, True)
        Dim allSolidEntities = SearchManager.GetGeometry(solidsMask)

        For Each solidEntity As SolidGeometry In allSolidEntities

            solidEntity.Selected = True
            solidEntity.Commit()

        Next

        If allSolidEntities.Any() Then

            Dim timer = New Timers.Timer(500)
            AddHandler timer.Elapsed, AddressOf OnTimedEvent
            timer.AutoReset = False
            timer.Start()

            ExternalAppsManager.RunFTCommand("sld_convert_to_surfs")
      
        Else
            DialogManager.Error("No Solids Found", "No Solids Found")
        End If

        Return MCamReturn.NoErrors
    End Function

    Private Sub OnTimedEvent()
        MastercamWindow.SetFocusToMastercam()
        SendKeys.SendWait("{ENTER}")
        MastercamWindow.SendEscapeKeyPress()
        SendKeys.Flush()
    End Sub
