Role
As a Garment Underwriter, your role is to provide material for your Design Team’s garment. You may be as involved in the design process as you would like to be. We encourage Garment Underwriters to educate their Design Team on their materials if they require special application techniques.

Your attendance is highly encouraged at the Garment Underwriter Breakfast. The CRE8 Committee will review everything you will need to know about being a Garment Underwriter including rules, important dates, and how you can help your Design Teams.

Each Design Team will be randomly paired with their Garment Underwriters by the CRE8 Committee. Random pairings will be announced on the website and via email. It is up to the Design Teams and Garment Underwriters to meet and select their materials. Garment Underwriters are responsible for delivering their materials to the Design Teams at the Kick Off Social. Design Teams that are given their materials before the Kick Off Social will be disqualified.
