Re: Build-Season (Business) + Laser Cutter

If you haven't already, contact everyone who helped the team last year, particularly sponsors, school contacts, suppliers, and mentors. Ask if they're willing to help again. Explain that you did not receive a good turnover from their previous contact, and would like to clarify what they need/expect from the team and what the team can expect from them. Write it down (or more literally create an electronic document) and pass it on to whomever is doing this next year!

What exactly "Business Lead" means varies from team to team. In the broadest cases, it can encompass everything from soliciting sponsorships to ordering supplies, making travel arrangements, project management, and writing the chairman's award. A good way to start would be to go through the Admin manual's section on team contacts and identify who is on the hook for each of the functions mentioned there; some must be adult mentors, and many others may be. If you and your lead mentors can't identify who it is, do it yourself or delegate it.
