Re: Commitment

Our team doesn't meet at a school because we're two schools combined, and our shop is between 10 minutes and 45 minutes driving for every member. During build season our entire team only meets twice a week, with subteam meetings whenever necessary (usually an additional meeting or two per subteam). Each meeting is between four and eight hours long, with an additional hour driving each (for me), so around 14 hours a week for me, plus extra time for subteam meetings, brainstorming, and anything else I take home to work on. Plus, once the end of the build season gets close, Chairman's Award committee meetings eat up a LOT of time.
