Re: Gender Equality: A Work in Progress
At the Shorewood district event in Washington there was a young lady from The IRS (1318) that gave a brief pitch about how teams should strive for gender equality in student leadership and on drive teams. Futhermore, if your team didn't have women in those roles, and you wanted one, you should do so and be an example for those coming after you. I'm not sure if the video was archived, but it was awesome!

More regions should host the equivalent of Girls Gen... That is the most inspirational FIRST event I've ever attended, and you can really see the confidence boost at work.
