Please don't miss understand my point. I already figured that you had to raise your own money.
My concerns are more about expansion in general, not just international expansion. Having a 7 year perspective, I just see that expansion has taxed the human resources of FIRST. They just seem much more overwhelmed than before. Maybe we just need to have more staff and somehow pay for that, as an organization.
Like I said before, you won't ever stop the growth of FIRST, because you can't keep a good idea down! I hope this clears up my perspective. have a great summer!
Also as a side note: We have also sent about 20 copies of our "Team in a Box" DVD to England and Europe in support of teams and potential regionals. So we are definitely in favor of international expansion. I was just expressing my concerns. I like to worry!
