The Pride of CASE V Awards Program
2011 Judging Coordinators
The judging coordinator for each category will assemble a panel of three to five experts, including advancement professionals, to judge the category. All judges are from outside the CASE V district. Awards may be given at the Gold, Silver and Bronze levels, depending on the quality of the entries.
Each category is judged in a different location as indicated under the category description. Be sure to send entries to the correct judging location and include any required materials specified with each entry. Judges may disqualify incomplete entries or entries submitted in the wrong category.
Phone numbers for judging coordinators are provided for shipping form purposes only
(FedEx, UPS). PLEASE DO NOT CALL JUDGING COORDINATORS. Questions should be
referred to Karen O’Rourke, Pride of CASE V Awards Chair, (812) 514-8475.
