The judging coordinators are all advancement professionals from outside district IV, or experts in the field who are not CASE IV members (i.e. consultant, topic area expert outside of advancement, etc.). Each coordinator pulls together a group of three to five colleagues to judge the assigned category. Some judging coordinators recruit professionals from outside of education whose knowledge of the category would be helpful.
