I've been saying this all year. I also find it frustrating not to be able to get word out to teams. Not everyone reads Chief Delphi.(gasp) I think it would be helpful to create a listserv for each state with an opt-in/out feature in TIMS - if the team contact chooses to subscribe to it (s)he can - and then Team contacts can send out e-mails to that listserv, thus protecting personal addresses. Or maybe give them access to post to any of the listservs. May be too much traffic, too many e-mails. But it would certainly help to advertise things like off-season events, fundraisers in your state, NEMO workshops, other FIRST-related organization meetings, etc.
