Re: Share or not to share CA submissions

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!
That's a GOOD idea!
Another idea used by one of my team:

They took last year's CA submission, change it into a booklet (folded 17x11 paper) and mail them to all pass, present and future sponsors.
They reported POSITIVE feedback from their existing sponsors.
