CKC Judges Observation Program

Further to the Event Officiating Committee communication requesting volunteers for the new Conformation Judges Observation Program, we are pleased to announce that Area Coordinators have been selected.  This new program was developed in an effort to maintain the integrity and high standards expected of CKC Conformation Judges.
