This volunteer role offers a great opportunity to see the work of peers and get fresh ideas. This is a short-term volunteer opportunity that will be completed between October 20, 2022, and January 18, 2022.
ILTA is seeking volunteers to judge the Annual ILTA Distinguished Peer Awards applications. Judges will be asked to provide scoring for their assigned award and select the award winners.
Each judge will be assigned to one award and will be asked to read and review applications, rating them based on the criteria for each award. ILTA Staff will tally the judge ratings and from that determine the finalists for each award. If the finalists for an award are in a close run off, the finalists will be interviewed by the judges and award will be selected post interviews.
