Linear Appraiser Pre-Training and Education Session

The Linear Appraiser Pre-Training and Educational Session will be offered again this year at the ADGA Convention. It will be held on Friday afternoon from 1-5 pm, after the Type Conference. Registration for this important session is on a first come/first served basis, although preference will be given to Appraiser Trainee Applicants over Auditors. Trainee applicants are required to attend the Type Conference in the morning session. The session will start in the classroom with information about the Linear Appraisal Program. Then it will adjourn to the activity tent for live animal work. This is a fee event, see registration application. If you have any questions about this event or how to prepare for the session, please feel free to contact Lisa Shepard, ADGA Performance Program Coordinator or Jennifer Bice, Chair of the Linear Appraisal Committee.
