The team I mentor was part of that flurry of team creations. We've managed to develop a strong program in every area EXCEPT fund raising. It would be helpful if FIRST provided more support in this area.
As an aside, it's interesting to read what support the mentor team thinks they supplied to us versus the support we think we actually received.
