Re: Starting a FIRST Alumni Association

Thank you for the responses!

At the moment, I am just looking to create a way for FIRST alumni to stay connected to the community throughout college. Also, I want to increase the supply of volunteers in my state. Talking to FIRSTers involved with TNFirst, I heard that Tennessee is not retaining many of its alumni whatsoever, even though the vast majority of Tennessee students stay in-state for college.
Starting a new club at TTU is supposedly a painful an arduous task, but I'm hoping that my neighbor (newly elected to the Student Government) can help with that. After that, I'll just have to scrounge up the requisite amount of charter members.

Also, I appreciate what you've said about starting new things. I can assure you, Baja SAE is becoming just as much of an obsession as FRC was for me in high school, though the program is much more of a competition than FIRST is. Having just got back from an off-season Baja race, I can report that there are some interesting similarities and differences between FRC and Baja SAE.

Thanks again!
