    Mary and Sanjay:<br>
    <br>
    I nominate the Director of our Enterprise Campus and Technology
    Business Development Center, Ms. Kathy Wyatt, as a judge. Kathy
    organizes our business plan competition and other events and is
    extremely well-positioned to recognize good communication when she
    encounters it. She is not going to show any favors to Louisiana Tech
    students, I promise. Let me know if she would be a viable judge.
    Another option is to ask the LA-CGS members from campuses that do
    not have competitors.<br>
    <br>
    I think it is OK to switch to UL's Zoom link for the competition. We
    could use Greg's Zoom link for the meeting itself and then switch to
    UL's link for 3MT. This has the advantage that we can distribute the
    3MT link while keeping the meeting link to ourselves.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    Ramu<br>
