Final Thoughts
Now this is what I am talking about!! Leadership applications for a large cube event AND all these learning opportunities; thank you everyone for being amazing!
If you are interested in helping your fellow judges learn and develop new skills, apply to host a conference. A judge conference does not need to be extravagant; instead, it could be a small, weekly gathering, a regional get-together that happens once a quarter, or an educational series that is attached to an event weekend. If you do not know where to start the planning process, but you want to educate others, I would encourage you to still apply; the Judge Foundry Conferences Committee can help you plan from there.
Moreover, if you are interested in running a contest, making quality educational content, or pursuing any other project, and you need dollars to make it happen, consider applying for a Community Project Grant by filling out this Google form.
