The basic reason for the FIRST-SME cards is to gather statistics on participants. Corporate sponsors like to see real data on how many people are touched by FIRST, how many stick with it, where they go on to after School, etc. SME as volunteered to gather this data to assist FIRST in growing and getting sponsors.
For this reason, it is important to get as many of your team to register as possible to ensure the best data.
I keep my collection of cards on the wall above my desk at work.
They also have come in handy as a reminder to team members who temporarilly forget the ethics that are listed on the back. Sometimes just pointing to the card is enough to get someone back on track.
