The ARDA committee met on December 11th, 2023, with two in attendance. The purpose of the meeting was to begin to narrow down changes and timelines for 2024.

Below is the draft that was discussed:

While the closing dates for entries have not yet been finalized, they will be before the February Board Meeting. The key changes as noted will result from an anticipated rise in entries, allowing our team of judges adequate time to review entries in their respective categories, as well as maintain the highest level of integrity that is the true foundation of ARDA.

At this time, the plan is to have our judges attend the judging days virtually as in previous years. While there are certainly advantages to both formats, I feel that at this time, it is a fiscally wise decision as we continue through hopefully another season of unprecedented growth. 

Respectfully submitted,
