Curious why her FIRST connection seems to be done through this rather than any of her other endeavors.

Dean has been speaking a lot about how FIRST has to move beyond traditional sources of support in order to reach a wider audience. This certainty seems inline with this idea on paper, though execution seems to miss the mark on tone to some degree.
