Re: Emeritus Judges


the exact wording in the Judges Handbook is "Appointment as Emeritus Judge is based on service at the national level that goes far beyond the expected conscientious performance as an AIS Judge" This does not state that the candidate must serve in a national office. My interpretation would include someone whos work would have a large impact including important regional responsibilities that make the entire system work. I believe a narrow interpretation would be too limiting and ignore the fact that we are all part of a national organization. Judges who travel outside their region to give judges trainings and or judge shows are then acting at a national level. Whenever more then one region is involved you are acting at a national level. If they hold office in Sections or cooperating societies they are acting at a national level. We have many examples of emeritus judges who have done no more that these things.

Why I have NOT Read IT, I was told by a Judges Trainer that the "Handbook"
states that This award is for Service done on the NATIONAL LEVEL ONLY ??  What
is the truth here??  I have some Regional People that are deserving. George

Each year I am reminded that our society has been growing older. Many of the
udges in AIS have been judges for more than ten years. Many have also worked
ery hard for the organization in many capacities, at the regional level and
r the sectional level and a few on the AIS board. Whatever, I am certain
here are many, whose service has gone beyond the expected conscientious
erformance as judge. I also believe there are several judges whose service at
he national level has gone without additional recognition. Look around you
nd reflect on the judges you know. Many of us forget that it is we who
ominate these special judges for Emeritus Judges. I am certain there are
udges who are deserving of this status, but no one has bothered to send a
ecommendation for the board to consider. I expect to nominate at least one.
ut I expect there are several others who should be so recognized. There have
een a number of gaps in recent years where few or no recommendations have
one!
 B to the board. Considering the demographics of our society and how involved
any individuals have been through the years, one would expect a much larger
ohort of our judges to be Emeritus. Note Emeritus does not means they stop
udging, and there is no limit to how many deserving judges can be made
meritus. Personlly I think AIS has some catch up to do.
