It is important for us to have an adequate supply of Judges so the Judging process can be completed in an effective and timely manner.

 

Please plan ahead and schedule the necessary training for your members to become Certified CPG Judges and CPG Trainers.  I will be happy to come to your chapter to help with training. By participating in the judging process, you are better prepared to plan and implement your own projects.  Please encourage Past Presidents, Brigade members, and Senators to participate and judge Architect and Annual Report Submissions.

 

If your chapter has any problems or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Chairman's Planning Guide Program Manager or webmaster .   By working together, we can make the Chairman’s Planning Guide and Judging Program a positive and productive tool for your chapter.
