We just finished our rough draft of the essay. But now im confused on what to do with the Exec. Summary.
Any help is appreciated

As everyone always says, there are as many ways to do a Chairman's submission as there are teams submitting. However, the way that I've found to be most effective is to use the essay for telling the stories and impact behind the elements of your submission, and to use the executive summary for the numbers.
For our BunnyBots offseason event, for example, in the Executive Summary we say that it's been going on for 8 years and had 22 teams this year, while in the essay, we explain why we started the event, and we also have a quote from another team explaining its utility to them.
Essentially, it's up to you. However, there are ways that have historically been better than others at communicating your team's strengths without being repetitive. There are plenty of old Chairman's submissions up on the CD white papers section, and most Hall of Fame (Championship Chairman's winning) teams have theirs up on their website.
Let me know if you have any other questions - I'd be happy to Skype with you or take a look at your essay if it would be helpful.
