Old Business
- JSSP and JCUP progress review (as of 12/12/2022).
- The JSSP Program 1880 passes from 1615 unique members successfully passed!
- The JCUP Program 2944 passes from 2382 unique CBJ’s have successfully passed!
- Time to consider a boosting awareness, CBJ committee has a few ideas to review.
- Organizers are now encouraging JCUP participants to be seated first.
- Email blast to active judges that have not taken it.
- First person testimonials, new faces or celebrity judges.
- Outstanding CBJ Nominations complete.
- Four US based awardees have been selected as well as one international CBJ. There was also one additional “special mention”. Looking forward to having this printed in the next BullSheet.
- Kevin Burnett, Individual Lifetime, BROWNSBORO TX
- Tim Lively, Individual US, WAYNESBORO GA
- Sue Seymer, Individual US, COLUMBUS MS
- Kenneth Sawyer, Individual Lifetime, DENVER CO
- Stephen Bresina, (International), Individual Lifetime, Switzerland
- Rich Goldstein, (Deceased) Individual US, Atlanta GA
- Develop program considerations for full Online CBJ course to determine if viable and how it would work. Not a replacement for traditional in person class, but an alternative.
- Final CBJ Committee draft completed, sent to the BOD for review and also sent to the CBJ Instructors (worldwide) for their feedback. Reach out to Rep Committee to look for any updates.
New Business
- Develop RFP for a new seating program on hold, developing an RFP for a new SCORE program takes precedence. This needs to ramp up for a faster timeline.
- Current SCORE program utilizes Microsoft CE 4.0 that was built in 2012, end of life in 2016 and end of support in June of 2021. Estimated to be a two year project, from the RFP creation to Training and Rollout. Recommendation is to not invest in a separate judge seating program until SCORE is updated, add seating functionality to the new SCORE program so Reps will have all features in one program. (This will be removed from the CBJ Committee for a special committee).
- Julie P. has gathered requirements and a wish list from the KCBS Office. Tech committee aligned with proposed functionality. Next step is to create a survey for all reps to complete. Would like to have this in the Reps hands by the first of the year.
- The following items have been received by the CBJ committee and require further review, perhaps by the Rules committee and then BOD review.
- NO Finger Licking, wiping ungloved hands and Covid guidance in the CBJ manual could use a little more clarification. Chiles forwarded review to the Rules committee on 11/29.
- Comment cards. The CBJ committee will take it as an action item to see if a different font and or font size can be used to make the card easier to read in less than ideal lighting.
- Over and undercooking verbiage in the Judges and Cooks MP3 sent to the Rules committee on 11/29 for review.
- Develop program considerations for a new KCBS CBJ Portal applet that could link cook teams with Judges that need to cook for their MCBJ requirement. Search by geographical are and automate sending emails to teams willing to host judges by area on behalf of the judge.
- Quote delivered to the CEO, this will remain on the list with low priority.
- Secondary functionality could be for Judges that are willing to cook with cook teams to provide guidance (Teams searching for judges for cooking assistance).
Closing – Any additional questions or concerns that are provided.

th, 2022 at 18:30
In attendance: Stan Dobosenski, Debby Gage, Rod Gray, David McAllister, Bob McKee, John Scharffbillig, Jeanne Titus, Mike Winter, Jonathan Williams, Ralph Williams
Topics discussed:
Rep Advisory 1.11 - 180 pins/stickers with no conclusion. Other options will be looked into.
Turkey Smoke rules for cooks to be read at Cook’s Meetings.
What can we do on Single Meat contests to identify Backyard Teams vs Pro Teams. Email will be sent to all Representatives
Head cook numbers verification when handing out boxes. Email will be sent to all Representatives.
Rep Advisory 1.18 Contest Organizer Vending or Competing at Their Event
Question: Can an organizer vend or compete at their event?
Opinion: No. The contest organizer may not vend (sell food and beverages) at their contest. They may have volunteers/personnel to vend but the organizer must be available to the teams, judges, and the Contest Reps. BOD February 17, 2006
No person or spouse, whether listed as, or acting as, a contest organizer shall compete either as an individual, or as a team, they are associated with at that contest. To keep it simple, neither an organizer nor their spouse may compete as a head cook or as a team member in his/her own contest. Additionally, withdrawing from the capacity prior to the competition does not remove this restriction. BOD February 17, 2006 Updated BOD July 2015
