Event Information

Welcome to the First (of hopefully many) Northern Colorado and Wyoming Judge Extravaganzas.  What is a Judge Extravaganza, you may ask?  It is simply a place to educate, certify, and otherwise get together.  We love the judge community and want it to grow.  With that being said, we are looking for newer L1s who want to expand their repository of knowledge, experienced L1s or L2s who are looking to give back to their community by way of presenting, L3s who want to hang out and spread their sphere of influencial knowledge, and even Candidates who want to test!!!!

 

Remember this conference is aimed at Store Level Judges and therefore will be focusing on fundamentals, relationship building, and customer service.

 

TESTING AND FOIL SUPPORT

We will have L1 testing on site.  We will also have, at least one, planned L3 to test qualified L1s for advancement.  This will be Bryan Spellman. Regardless of which one confirms attendance, they will need to speak (however that happens) with you prior to the event to ensure that you have met the regional requirements for advancement.  As a BONUS, any newly minted L1 who applied to this Conference AND completes their L1 test before Friday, November 30th, is eligible for FOILS!  But its not just limited to newly minted L1s; any judge who is accepted and has completed their certification prior to that date is also eligible!

 

If you would like to present, please make it clear in your application and state what you would like to present to the group.
