Mike,
Thanks for explaining all that to Justin (and everyone else).
FIRST does really listen. In fact, I actually sent several emails out to all the contacts on all the teams
specifically asking for comments, good and bad about this past year's Competition. I, for one, take the
comments very seriously. FIRST is about you, the teams, and what you have to say is VERY important.
We do listen. We might not be able to implement every idea, but we do have them all on record and
re-visit them several times a year to see what improvements/changes we can implement to make the Competition
better for everyone.
I have also invited anyone that cannot make it to the Team Forum to email me their comments and suggestions so
that they can have a 'voice' even though they're not here. I will make sure those issues are brought up at the
Forum. We will be taking minutes at the Forum, and as we did last year, we will post the minutes on the
web.
Communication is extremely important...it's imperative for any successful relationship...and the teams have
a relationship with FIRST. I have worked hard at establishing relationships with team members across the
country and I will continue to do so as long as I am with FIRST. So please, continue to send your comments
to me personally, or on this page. I do read it! Many of us at FIRST do. It's how we keep a finger on the
pulse of the teams.
Thank you Chief Delphi (Brandon) for taking the time to keep this page updated and available for all of us! I certainly
appreciate it!
