That's definitely what it takes. I recently contacted FIRST to ask if they had anyone tasked with developing materials for teams to assist with recruitment and retention of female team members and mentors. I was surprised to hear that they did not have anyone working on this. I was further surprised to note that there was no mention of a related goal in the recently announced strategic plan.
Did you all see the You Go Girls posters that 1710 had hanging in the halls at Championship? Awesome!
I look forward to the webcast.
