Great Lakes Region Leadership Council<\/h2>\n
The regional project leads and members of the regional leadership council for 2019 have been announced. Here is the announcement from our Regional Coordinator, John Temple<\/a> “Your 2019 Leadership Council!<\/p>\n Originally I was planning on having only 4 At-Large Seats but we had so many applicants I upped the number to 6 At-Large Seats. Thank you to all who applied and I’m looking forward to all the amazing this region will accomplish with these folks assisting me at the helm!<\/p>\n Project Leads<\/strong><\/p>\n Mentorship – Jeff Kruchkow<\/a> At-Large Seats<\/strong><\/p>\n –Andrew C. Thompson<\/a> The Leadership Council\u2019s purpose is to advise the Regional Coordinator of what\u2019s going on within the region, provide varying viewpoints, push regional initiatives, and represent a dissection of the people within the region.”<\/p>\n As a member of this esteemed group, I for one look forward to making 2019 an incredible year for the amazing Judges of the Great Lakes!<\/p>\n As discussed during our November 2018 Town Hall meeting, maintenance exams will be enforced as part of the annual level maintenance. Maintenance exams have always been a part of level maintenance, but in the past we have not had a system to administer such exams. In order to maintain your current Judge level moving into 2019, L1’s must pass a L1P and L2’s must pass a L2P with a score of 70% or better by January 21, 2019. L3’s are already subject to maintenance exams as part of the L3 maintenance process. (If you certified for your current level in 2018, you are EXEMPT from this maintenance requirement for this year).<\/p>\n Once you have completed your maintenance requirements, please fill out the Google form linked below:<\/p>\n This month we see 3 excellent Great Lakes judges celebrating their 5-year mark with the Judge program. Thank you to\u00a0John Stock<\/a> The Great Lakes Region is very happy to welcome three new Judges to the program this month! Please join me in extending a hearty welcome to Danny Peterson<\/a><\/span><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n
