PURPOSE: The Judges Education Committee is responsible for providing continuing education to judges regarding the Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

TASKS:

1. The Judges Education Committee is primarily charged with conducting a judging seminar and ringside mentoring in conjunction with the PWCCA National Specialty.

2. The Chairman of this committee must approve and assist when various judges' groups throughout the country request help in putting on a seminar. One or more PWCCA members on the mentor list are selected to attend the Judges seminar. The Chairman will send the educational material to be duplicated and put into packets for the participants.

3. In January of each year the Chairman writes to the American Kennel Club requesting that an announcement of the PWCCA National Specialty Seminar be printed in the AKC GAZETTE and that flyers and certificates be printed and sent to him/her. Address labels to judges in neighboring states are also provided by the AKC and the Chairman must mail the flyers to these judges.

4. Judges planning to attend the National Specialty Seminar make their reservations with the Chairman who in turn writes them letters of welcome.

5. Packets containing the Standard, Judges' Pictorial, breed history, accepted colors, head study and other pertinent material are compiled and distributed to the participants at the National Specialty Seminar. The Committee selects dogs for the hands-on evaluation part of the Seminar.

6. The Committee is also charged with reformulating the Judges' Pictorial from time to time.

7. The Committee sends breed information to Pembroke Welsh Corgi judge applicants and to new judges of our breed.

8. The Committee requests biographies from new judges for publication in the NEWSLETTER.

2. 7-S, 9/13/89, pg. 3: Committee's (Judges Pictorial) goal is to render a one-time educational mailing pictorializing top quality exhibits. Progress: Judges education mailing will be 5 pages consisting of: Letter with the following 4 enclosures to all PWC judges: Specialty event calendar - 2 full pages, front and back, of selected PWC's. (Paper of good quality.) Dogs/bitches on separate sheets. Approximately 4 pictures to each side; 1 page showing fluffs and obvious mismarks with a statement concerning alteration of coat length by trimming, thinning, etc. Process - This process limits the number and
emphasizes the quality of the Corgis from which the few are chosen. Specialty win format selected because specialties are the breeders' showcase with judges chosen by the fancy. Corgis chosen must have won BOB, BOS, WD, or WB, at two or

more Specialties between years of 1975 and 1987. Judge's letter will state criteria used to select Corgis pictures. Selected dogs/bitches no longer to be
shown as specials. This eliminates any possible endorsement of dogs that are competing as specials. Each sheet will be labeled by sex with dogs appearing on front and back of one sheet, bitches on the other. No print will appear with
individual pictures. Publication goal: First quarter, 1990. Jensen Motion/Second/Carried. Postage and printing cost expenditures be authorized for the packet to be sent to all licensed Pembroke judges.

3. 2-G, 5/9/91, pg. 3: M/S/C all PWCCA members receive a copy of the (Judges) pictorial and the cover letter.

5. 8-A, 4/21/93, pg. 2: M/S/C that the Judges Education Committee send the PWCCA NEWSLETTER containing the National Specialty critique to all AKC licensed Pembroke judges. Each time a card will be enclosed for them to indicate if they want to continue to receive the issue.

6. 8-J, 4/21/93 (Membership), pg. 2: A judges' workshop was conducted in conjunction with this specialty. It was hoped a number of judges could attend as part of the Cherry Blossom Circuit. They are being mentored by breeders who are licensed judges or those who have judged National Sweepstakes. The Board
has asked the committee to mail the December NEWSLETTER to all AKC licensed judges on a one time basis. It will cost about $3.64 per judge. Judges will receive a card with the issue asking if they wish to continue to receive the December issue - the one containing the National critique. The idea is to present judges with information on a number of quality dogs to educate the judge's eye. Members felt this was too similar to the proposal voted down at the annual meeting, September 1987. It was decided that this will be one of the items on the Topics Survey to give the entire membership a chance to respond.

7. 9-B, 9/16/93, pg. 7: Neil McLain Moved that current PWCCA NEWSLETTERS not be sent unsolicited to AKC licensed Pembroke Welsh Corgi judges. Donna Frances SECONDED. Jan Edwards clarified that the NEWSLETTER could still be used with direct educational efforts. Neena Van Camp clarified that PWCCA members who are licensed judges can continue to receive the NEWSLETTER. Stephanie Hedgepath pointed out that as a judge she gets mailings of breed magazines and she does not look at them. Mary Miner felt the NEWSLETTER couldn't afford to send issues to judges. Janet Robinson confirmed that she disregards a lot of the mailings she gets as a judge. She feels that non-member judges who wish to receive the NEWSLETTER can subscribe if they wish. MOTION CARRIED.

8. 12-N, 5/11/89, pg. 4: M/S/Carried to Rescind the September 1988 motion that the PWCCA send a one time issue of the Newsletter of Judging the Pembroke Welsh Corgis to all AKC licensed Pem judges.
