Re: Why even bother submitting a Chairman's Award if we're not gonna win?

Great answers so far!

Let me clarify something: the title of this thread is not one that is in *my* mind, but one that I've heard voiced from students and mentors over the past ten years.

It's a generic question that I think most Chairman's Award winning teams have asked themselves in the past.

To me, the question of, "Why even bother?" generates an abundance of answers beyond the desire to win.
