IndianaFIRST has approximately 250-300 unique volunteers (including judges) for four events. And we have not quite achieved our 2018 goal of Key Volunteers only having to work two events per official competition season.

It's worth noting that you can in fact have different people working on and worrying about different things. It's not unreasonable to bring in new people to work on new issues that need to be resolved in a future transition to districts.
I'm really happy that Jess and Rahul talked to so many teams at the event, because the first step in transitioning to districts is convincing people that it needs to happen. If it's just some vocal minority yapping on Chief Delphi, of course nothing is going to happen.
Once we have enough teams and people who believe that districts is the correct path forward, I think it will be much easier to find all the resources and people necessary to make the transition. Part of getting to that point is education, part of that point is developing and communicating a plan. I commend Jess and Rahul on getting started on the education part, but without the cooperation of the RPC it will be very, very difficult to make meaningful progress on the plan part.
