Judge’s Comments

Comments are optional for statistical judges. Please divide your commentary into the two areas to the right, and provide both kinds of commentary.

¶ Send commentary as an email note or as an attached file.

Provide separate commentary in both categories:

Areas of Excellence
Praise achievements. Be sure to include significant positive feedback as to what the newsletters are doing right. Your positive comments make up the pages of the Annual Conference and traveling exhibits.

Areas for Improvement
Editors often appreciate suggestions on how they can improve their newsletters. Identify areas that lowered their score.
