Call for Judges for Science Fair

Each year, Virginia Bio recruits volunteer judges from the membership to attend the Virginia State Science and Engineering Fair to select the top three winners in the field of biosciences. The time commitment is limited to a pre-event online review of the submissions to select the finalists and then a few hours onsite at the Fair to interview and select the final winners. Lunch is provided to all judges by the Fair. The process is extremely easy and, by all accounts, very rewarding. This years Fair is at Piedmont Community College in Charlottesville on April 11.

Please contact Caron Trumbo if interested in volunteering your time!
