Re: Share or not to share CA submissions

The process of putting together a CA entry is also a exercise that holds so much value. As all the NASA grant teams know, this is a requirement for receiving $$. Last year, the students on the team that had no huge role, not the tool or engineering or PR types, but rather the ones who wanted to be involved, well, they put together an entry. And they amazed me. They had to learn about all the team and all the dimensions. The entry may not have been of winning quality but the exercise was well worth it and got this group engaged in the team.
This year, one of the students had an idea to ask various people for a paragraph about the team. And what came back was letter after letter letting the team know what an impact they were having. Talk about a boost! They ended up changing the entry and mostly just including the testimonials. Regardless the entry, these letters would never have come without the idea to use them for the CA. I am a huge believer in this process.
ps. Team 007's entry will be on our website soon!
