I start early on. Every interview I go to I mention FIRST. People are impressed by what I have done because of the program. It is nice to later say I wouldn't know how to do this if it weren't for FIRST. Most people really like the idea of FIRST when they see how far it has taken students like me.
I also invite people to events that the local teams host. I don't usually do massive email blasts but instead personally invite those who I think might be more interested.
