For me, the important part of continued team growth and maturing is the on-going evaluation of how areas can be improved, strengthened, changed to meet the dynamics and evolving development of the team.

Continuing to participate in the Chairman's Award will expose the team to the experience of conducting interviews with professionals, making formal presentations, and developing public speaking skills. It is always incredible to me to watch a student blossom and open up when they take that deep breath and step up to the challenge. One of our quieter team members last year is our lead for the Chairman's and Woodie Flowers essays this year. The presentation team is in process of being determined and I'll bet she will take that deep breath, again.

Good luck with your competition season!
