I made an effort to speak to each of the House Staff I came in contact with, operating the elevators and who were involved with entrances, exits and pathways.
I said "We have high expectations of these students, mentors and parents. If you see any behavior that is not gracious, please let your superior know and have them let FIRST know."

There were a few instances where I felt the "rules" didn't make sense (and in some cases were safety issues), was able to get the people that had the ability to make decisions and I made some suggestions.

I like the random acts of kindness gestures. Maybe we could provide lanyards to the house staff and they could collect buttons too!

I also like a formal process to give feedback to the judges before the final awards are locked in, by the house staff and the field crew (this is done at the regionals I've been involved with).
