Speech Judge, 2011-2022
Academic Decathlon (AcaDec) promotes, motivates, and acknowledges excellence in academic efforts and educational achievement through a program of academic competitions for high school students of all scholastic achievement levels. I volunteered as a speech judge from 2011-2022 at the Regional and State Competitions, providing objective and fair judging for impromptu and prepared speeches for high school students. I was the Region IV speech Chair in 2017, which included volunteer recruitment, training, putting together judging materials and completing additional Chair training.
