Posted on 4/30/99 3:15 PM MST Alright, we're losing Lori next year.. She's been doing FIRST for the last 5 years while on a sabbatical from her teaching position at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.. Her sabbatical ends this summer.. Actually it's August 15th.. That's why FIRST has put up that employment opportunity on the web.. They need a permanent replacement for Lori.. I'm hoping that she'll stay in touch with all us FIRST-a-holics when she goes back.. Well, we should wish her the best and all the good stuff.. And I just thought that all you people might want to know that.. -KATe- |
Lori stays, Vince goes...

Vince Wilczynski is the guy who is leaving. The text of the message follows. Joe J. Subject: Important message from Vince Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 07:48:16 -0400 From: -Lori Buckley To: To@usfirst.org.all.Team.Contacts To all team contacts - I'd like to use this forum to thank all of you for your hard work this year making the program a success. I'd also like to take this opportunity to recognize and applaud the FIRST staff that made the competition work. To both groups, thousands of lives have been touched and many have been transformed. As some of you know, I have been serving as the Director of the Robtoics Competition while on sabbatical from my teaching position at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Having been involved with FIRST on a team basis since '93, I welcomed the chance to help the program in a different area. Since my sabbatical ends this summer (August 15), FIRST needs to hire a permanent replacement for my position. I feel very strong that the person who takes on this position must have FIRST experience as a team leader. I've inlcuded a job description below and ask that you distribute this to anyone that you may think qualifies and is interested. Even if a person does not satisfy each criteria, I encourage them to submit an application. Thanks again for your hard work and please contact me if you would like any additional information on the position - Vince Vince Wilczynski Program Director FIRST Robotics Competition 800-871-8326 (ext.404) ___________________FIRST Position Announcement___________________ FIRST Robotics Competition National Program Director The FIRST Robotics Competition National Program Director is responsible for all aspects of a nation-wide robotics competition that partners industry with youth to help secure this nation’s technical literacy.
