The Spirit of FIRST: Why the Chairman’s Award is Essential to FRC
Carolyn Beyer - FRC 33, Renee Becker- FIRST Support Organization: GO FIRST, Libby Kamen - FRC 229 & FRC 1923

The Chairman’s Award is an embodiment of the spirit of FIRST, the driving force behind the FRC program and is something within grasp of every single FRC team. Three members of the Non-Engineering Mentor Organization (NEMO) will be examining why the Chairman’s Award is important to FIRST as a whole, why teams shy away from submitting the award, and the benefits of the submission process. This highpaced, dynamic discussion will help teams learn where they can access resources to help them submit Chairman’s, ways to move forward with a submission for the team, and why the Chairman’s Award is so critical to the FIRST program. Renee, Carolyn and Libby encourage you to come with questions and concerns regarding your own team’s process for creating a Chairman’s Award submission. Students, parents, and engineering, technical and non-engineering mentors are all encouraged to attend.

We would love to have you attend! Thursday, 1pm. Right after the "Chairman's Chat" with the Hall of Fame Teams.

See you there!

If you are a student or mentor who is interested in the Chairman's Award, this is a great conference for you to attend. We're going to go over why the Chairman's Award is essential to FIRST and to individual team growth.

If you attend the Hall of Fame Chairman's Chat, we encourage you to come over to our room after. Our presentation will be a great supplement to what the Hall of Fame teams have to say.

If you can not attend the Hall of Fame Chairman's Chat, please please come check us out, because we'll be offering some valuable information on how your team can be successful through the Chairman's Award.

I second Carolyn's comments. This session, together with the Chairman's Chat from noon-1pm in the same room, are a great way to get your team geared up for the Chairman's Award.

Come on out and soak in the wisdom!
