Interested in Judging?
TOBY Judging groups are comprised of property managers, facility managers, engineers and affiliate vendors/service providers. Being a judge takes a lot of time and commitment, but is a very rewarding experience. To be a TOBY Judge, you must fill out a judge application so we can help identify which judging group you'll be able to add expertise.
