FOC Concours Seminar
A Silicon Valley Motor Club member who is also the Chairman of the NorCal Concours wanted to share an event he is hosting where you can learn about the many Concours judging styles from top Concours judges. Here is a bit about the event along with a link where you can register.
We are planning on doing this as a multi part event. Starting with a casual cars and coffee in the parking lot in the morning (and a people choice voting). Then move inside to the conference room for a late morning event with three short talks from the Concours Chairmans of their events. After our provided lunch, our afternoon discussions talk about the various concours judging standards used for the shows and the marque clubs judging. We'll then break out to the parking lot for specific concours judging discussions and some mock judging of cars.

About FemPowered:
FemPowered was born out of a wish. A group of women who each were involved in motorsports in their own way but wished there was a community to meet others like them. So over mimosas one summer day, FemPowered was born.
Our goal is to create the women’s motorsport community that we were looking for. A place for all women, from the diehard weekend track warrior to the casually interested fledgling. A place to meet others like them, to learn from others, and most importantly, a place where we belong and are not alone.
