Pat,
I am an Official in Jersey as well. I can tell you from experience the only way for you to move up is for Assigners to see you. The most common way to do that is to go to there camps. Unless some one who has a big enough reputation is willing to make calls on your behalf. I am an IAABO member and have been for about 5 years. I never went to a High school camp, but I was fortunate to have a Varsity assigner at a JV game I was working and he started giving me Varsity games. And just this summer I went to a JUCO camp for the first time and got picked up( much thanks to many of the officials on this board for your great advice ). Since then I have gotten calls from other HS Varsity and JUCO assigners. I don’t think you need to change boards, you need to be seen and camps in most cases are the best way. I hope that helps.
