Hey Guys,
Thank for all the replies! I'm happy to say that the group has grown to about 50 members so far!
I would definitely like to clear up some things that were discussed.
"I wanted to know why OP was barring all team leaders who haven't held a "captain/president" title on their team. My broader point being that the OP was talking about how useful it would be to have a network of students of a certain 'caliber' but how he was leaving out anyone who didn't get elected (or appointed) to a position called "captain/president" on their team. A point that other posters have since reiterated"
Well, for one thing this group IS a Captains group. If I wanted to allow others to join, I would have created a general FRC networking page. What I mean by this is, this group was created for Captains to network. This is because each person who was appointed Captain on their respective teams, was appointed for a reason whether the rest of the team was either in support or not. In any well run team, organization, or business, there is always a leader to keep things moving and on track. I simply want to network with those people.
Do not misconstrue my words here. Even though there may have been people of the same caliber / potential to be captains on their team, they for some reason weren't. I don't mean this in a bad way, it's just that this was the way the ball rolled. As many have said, there are multiple networking pages for
everyone to join. There you will be able to interact with captains. This group however is for the core group of individuals who were given the opportunity to lead their teams through the many trials and tribulations of build season and competition.
Anyway, I thank you all for your support, and your understanding. I hope to see more Captains join the group!
Best Regards,
Arjun Krishna
