Something we just realized which may impact our choice for who does our presentation is that you DO have to give the presentation again in Atlanta IF you are fortunate to win the Regional Chairman's Award... and some of our key people are unable to travel with us to Atlanta...
Section 9.2.4 of the Manual: The Championship Award Process: At The Championship, a panel of judges will review the winning thirty (30) Regional Chairman’s Award submissions and will select one ultimate Chairman’s Award winner.
We interpreted that to mean that the Regional winners' online submissions would be the only things judged in Atlanta. However, I posted a Q&A about it and was told differently:

Q: Will Reigonal CA winners undergo an additional presentation/interview with the judges or will they only look at the previously-submitted online submissions?
A: There is only one Chairman's Award submission, it is used at the Regional level. If a team wins the Regional Chairman's Award, that submission goes forward to the Championship. At the Championship, the team will be interviewed by the Chairman's Award judges and allowed the same time allotment for a presentation as at the Regional level.
