How are judges selected for the Team Excellence Award Process?
The judges are recruited for the preliminary round competition from several sources. During the year, ASQ e-mails a “call for judges” to all members and applications are received from those who are interested. Other applications come from past judges and others involved in the team competition. After an extensive application review process, some of the applicants are invited to receive training and serve as regional judges. The final round judges are selected based on their experience in judging the competition, their scoring consistency their feedback writing skills and the preliminary round site trainer’s recommendation.
