Oregon FFA is in need of judges Nov 21 for State Ag Sales in Corvallis at Oregon State University. We need sales presentation judges, practicum judges, and team activity judges. We will provide morning refreshments, snacks throughout the day, and lunch.

There are also a couple of remote judging opportunities. Specifically, you can judge advertising (a PDF will be sent for each team) or telephone order taking where you can conduct the sales conversation with the participant remotely.

If you, or someone you know, is four or more years out of high school and willing to judge, please use the links provided in the comments.

Additionally, we are looking for event volunteers to help facilitate timing and host rooms during the event. Those interested can be post high school students or young adults and can fill out the form linked in the comments.
