Here is an extract from an e-mail from Kathie Sisson, Interim Judges Training Chair, The American Hosta Society, dated Thursday, 13 June 2013:
"Thank you for your application to become a Provisional Judge for the American Hosta Society. Your application has been approved. Congratulations!"
To become a provisional judge, a candidate must: (1) be a member of The American Hosta Society in good standing for at least two consecutive calendar years and maintain active membership; (2) possess the current edition of The AHS Handbook; (3) be willing to serve on judging panels in accredited shows; (4) exhibit in two shows and work in clerking or placement in two shows during the past four years; (5) complete Judging Clinic I; and (6) submit evidence of completion of the above requirements to the AHS Judges Training Chair or Vice President--Judging and Exhibitions. AHS Handbook, III-B-1.
Kentucky now has three AHS-accredited hosta show judges. I am very pleased to be joining Senior Judge Jean Ohlmann of Louisville and Master Judge Tom Miller of Georgetown. We could use more! The accreditation process is not onerous and gives AHS members an opportunity to learn more about their favorite plant and assist The American Hosta Society in its work of promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of hostas, the Friendship Plant.
