Re: 2013 Chairman's Award Submissions

Since the season is over, I don't think my teammates will have any issues about me posting it now. Besides, Chairman's will be someone else's duty next year.

All I have on hand is the essay portion. I can't find the video anywhere online, and we never recorded ourselves presenting.
Basically, the video was themed like a children's picture book, telling the story of our mascot toaster, Rye, as she travelled the world inspiring teams and communities.
Our presentation was business-themed. We all dressed up in suits and carried our handouts/brochures/papers in a briefcase that we set down in front of the judges. We had a flip-board with charts and graphs and illustrations about our content.

This year, we won the Gull Lake District Chairman's Award, and came in as a VERY close 4th place for Chairman's at the State Championship event (FiM: At the State competition, there are 3 Chairman's awards available). The one thing that held us back was our age; we're not an old enough team to have a long-term record of our sustainability. We also won Engineering Inspiration at the Livonia District Competition.

For some reason, no one's updated our website in several months... When they do update, the rest our Chairman's materials will be posted here:
http://www.theflyingtoasters.org/#!__resources
That page (under the Chairman's tab) also has our entry from last year, our first-ever presentation for anyone who's curious.
