Hi Joe!

All District Areas (to the best of my knowledge) have a non-profit entity that assumes the liability from FIRST HQ for their District. FIRST in Michigan, Indiana FIRST, etc are all examples of this. I assume California would follow a similar model. I believe Jim Beck has established a FIRST California 501c3, although I do not know the details.

A possibility: the Volunteer Coordinator on the state level would be something of an intelligence gathering and disseminating position/organization, having contact with the individuals/groups sponsoring the events themselves. We again return to the stretching of volunteers.
It looks like this is roughly the model that other regions operate under. Are you proposing a similar model be implemented in CA, or are you suggesting something different?

Not an aficionado of politics, I'm out of the loop of BIG FRC decision making. Who is it in the Cal who makes decisions on dates/sites for events?

For Regionals: the California RD's work with FIRST HQ and SRE to schedule and book venues.

For Off-Season Events: I email 254 and RC (1323) to double check that we won't be interfering with their events (Cal Games usually announces dates before we are scheduling CCC). I generally don't consider scheduling conflicts with SoCal because of the distance.
