 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:
