Someone who works for FIRST.

Such individuals usually wear a shirt or vest identifying their title.

Example:

NE-FISRT
Regional Director

Just a technicality... NE FIRST Regional Directors work for NE FIRST, not FIRST HQ. FIRST Senior Mentors in New England are not technically FIRST employees, we're stipend-paid volunteers. VISTAs are not FIRST employees either. So looking for us wearing certain apparel is not a good indicator if we are truly FIRST employees. (and I won't have on anyway as I am performing a different volunteer role at District CMPS)

Specificity aside, I think a member of FIRST could be considered someone who is representing FIRST at the event as a volunteer or an employee. This is a fun scavenger hunt, not a job application.

I think everyone's being a bit too hard on an outstanding 2nd year team that is looking to engage the NE FIRST community in a fun and unique way.

This team has blown me away all season with their outreach and engagement in FIRST and NE FIRST. Especially in the social media area.

Thank you 4905 for putting in the extra time before such a big weekend to give the teams and spectators something extra to look forward to at the District Championship! I look forward to seeing what people post!

Trying snag a picture with an FTA is a good approach, though. They might be too busy to comply, though.
