JUDGES

This is the Governing Body for Judges and is accredited to SACC. Judges must choose to belong to one of the five recognized SACC Judge Panels which make up the Judges Council. Each panel, on a 3 yearly rotational basis, is responsible for all administrative aspects of the Judges Council as well as being required to organize a General Meeting, Symposium and Workshop at the end of its tenure.
