Everyone who has been to a speech contest has seen the Chief Judge, and a few in the District have been the Chief Judge.
Though there are a few "moving parts" for the Chief Judge to manage, it is a do-able task.
Why learn to be a Chief Judge?
It's another Toastmasters opportunity for you to practice and improve your:
- organizational skills
- motivational skills
- ability to think on your feet
- meet and work with Toastmasters outside your club
- help District 5 ensure that our contests are fair
NOTE: The Spring 2010 Chief Judge Training events have passed. Stay tuned for future training opportunities for the Fall 2010 contest season.
