VLC Player Download (there are Windows, Mac, and Linux versions)

Email Jim Hanson at jim@climbthemountain.us with your “ballot.”

In your email ballot, include the following:

1. Write the name of the speaker

Jonathan Dentler reads his interp from a book.

Katie Imbeau reads “Coming Attractions” from a black binder.

2. Your Rating of the Speaker (the scale is 1-30 but REMEMBER--most scores are 26 to 28; scores below 25 would be considered very low, possibly mean).

3. Give at least 2 Comments on what each speaker did well and 2 comments on what the speaker needs to improve on.

4. Your ranking of the speakers (1 for best speaker, 2 for second best speaker).

Jim or a climber will email you back within a day with comments on your ballot.
