Just a little food for thought.

The interesting thing about FIRST now is that it's so big the meaning of it is so different depending on who you ask. The championshplit is an example where the meaning of FIRST to the board of directors has a wide gap to traverse before it gets to people who oppose the move. The mission and the vision are tools to guide anyone at any level or division of the intertwining organization, but if someone asked me what FIRST meant to me, I wouldn't recite the mission and vision.
