Judges Training – Photo by Ron Miner
DSO is a participating society of the American Dahlia Society (ADS). We host two ADS sanctioned shows each season. In order to host these shows we must have ADS qualified judges to judge at the shows. To this end, DSO, under the direction of the Judging Chair, offers a rigorous program to recruit, train, and maintain the credentials of ADS judges within the DSO membership. We are also fortunate to have ADS qualified judges from other societies help judge at our shows. In turn, our judges may judge at other ADS sanctioned shows across North America.
