FWD Directory - Judges Emeritus
The men listed below are retired certified judges and are awarded the title of Judge Emeritus.
Each year the District VP's of Contest & Judging submit nominations for the Judge Emeritus
award. This award is not given automatically for time in service, but
rather is given for exemplary service to the judging program over a period
of years. The Society Contest and Judging Committee reviews the history of the nominees and selects those
deserving of the honor. They also ask for input from other judges who have
been in the program for some time that can assist with information on each
nominee.
