How do you expect people to stand in the limelight when they don't seem to have as many accomplishments?

That should not stop anyone from nominating a mentor for UFH.....UFH's are not judged in comparison to the previous honoree's accomplishments. They are judged on what they have done, how they have affected you or your team, and how well you can communicate what they mean to you. Don't worry about JVN or other people like that, or what they have done...the last thing they want to do is discourage people from nominating others....
The UFH is a great thing for FIRST and needs people to nominate mentors. There are so many out there that deserve recognition and do not get it. I bet every team has at least one great mentor they can write about, proabably more. It doesn't take that much time, and great mentors are definetley worth it, so nominate someone!!!
