From a non-technical standpoint, your NEMs (Non-Engineering Mentors) should be helping your team:
keep track of deadlines, gather paperwork (permission slips, emergency forms, FIRST release forms, etc.), get school board permission to take your team out of school for competition, plan travel/transportation/hotels/meals, contact local media, etc. The NEMs can join NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) where they can get suggestions and support from other team mentors who are doing those same things right now. See http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pa...le&paperid=499 for more details.
