2009 WATCH Judge Training
Well, it is that time of year again. If the holidays are upon us, so
is WATCH training for the new year. In keeping with the rules of the
WATCH program, all WATCH judges must attend a training session once
every two years. If you are a new judge, obviously it is of utmost
importance for you to attend a training session to understand the
commitment you have accepted as a judge. For returning judges, we
believe it is important to make sure you are aware of any changes to the
criteria, to the program as a whole and as simply a refresher on
avoiding common adjudication problems.
Training only lasts a couple of hours. We are working with several
groups to provide six training sessions around the beltway between now
and early January. They start Nov 30th.
