Seems likely. There seems to be pretty good tracking between the votes
of judges and those of the AIS as a whole.

That is definitely a big part of it. Y'all are putting out some great
stuff.
Another is that Brad Kasparek, Region 12 RVP, worked hard to get a good
voter turnout in Utah. I have not yet done the numbers, but I feel sure
that no region of comparable size or larger had nearly as high a
percentage of ballots sent in. I wish all the other regions were able to
get that kind of results. (Note--I realize that each region has its own
situation, including some having many members who did not want to vote a
second time. This was not meant as a put-down. I just feel that the best
way for the Symposium to be all that it can be is for almost all members
to vote. I will welcome suggestions for anything I can do to improve the
situation.)
