JUDGES NEEDED FOR AIM YP'S MAVERICK CHALLENGE

AIM YP is currently seeking judges to be a part of our 2013-14 Maverick Challenge entrepreneurship competition. This is a great opportunity for any entrepreneur, business owner, or manager to give back to the community by donating a few hours of their time advising local high school students in this competition

We need four judges – three as the primary judges and one as an alternate. The judges must meet the following criteria:

• Each judge must be able to commit to the entire Maverick Timeline. See schedule below.
• A judge may have to step down if there is a conflict of interest with a Maverick student or they find out they can’t commit to the timeline.
• Judges do not have to be local.
• Judges must be willing and able to give constructive criticism to the students.
• Judges should consider the Maverick Challenge criteria and guidelines provided by the Maverick Administrators when judging the business plans.

Those interested in becoming a Dearborn County Maverick Challenge judge should contact us as soon as possible, aimyp2@gmail.com.
