2008 Independent Director of Judging

The IDJ will be in charge of reviewing judge's application, interviewing judges, conducting education programs and overseeing the licensing of the 2007 judges.  The IDJ will also be responsible for assigning judges for each show.  This is a new concept being introduced into our judging program that, together with oversight, is designed to create an acceptable perception that the judging is being conducted on a level playing field.

 

This will include the development of a higher standard of judging and ethics.  The IDJ will consult with the SJC in reviewing the performance of and providing for the oversight and continuing education of the judges. 

 

In conjunction with such review, exhibitors will be encouraged to complete a Judges Evaluation Form for each judges performance after each show and send it directly to the IDJ.    Complaints will be investigated and recommendations made to the SJC with respect to any actions that may need to be taken.  Likewise, it will be the SJC's responsibility to convey any changes or recommendations regarding a judge to the IDJ if they feel the judge's performance at a particular show was not in accordance with the judging and/or breed standard. 

 

Please contact the KMSHA office for any information on the judging program.
