Our Assessment Program

The number one purpose of the RWISOA Assessment Program is to improve the skill level of our referees and to provide our assignors a pool of elite college officials.

​

All assessments are shared with all local assignors, conferences' officials coordinators, NISOA Region II Coordinator and the NISOA Director of Assessments.

​

The information and feedback collected from these assessments are used to improve our training and mentoring program.
