Key volunteers are not those that need to be in the positions for "decades." To have a sustainable program you need to constantly be training people and have them fill necessary positions. Districts are about sustainability, and with that you cannot rely on people who you expect to always be there, but have enough people trained in those roles that many people could fill in key roles. The biggest market for that is FIRST alumni.

I understand all of that. It doesn't contradict what I wrote in either of my earlier posts.
Also, "how to consistently fill all of those important roles year after year, for the next decade and beyond." doesn't mean the same thing as having one person in any given role "for 'decades'".
My consistent point is, service *before* self.
