Introducing the Connecticut FIRST Alumni Network
At Kickoff, Dean issued his homework assignment for the 2009 FRC season: locate former
FIRST participants. What he didn't know is that for the last three months, those of us in Connecticut have been working on this very same project (and no, we didn't steal the homework assignment).
So... we at Connecticut FIRST are pleased to announce the creation of the CT
FIRST Alumni Network (CTFAN).
Who can join CTFAN? Alumni from...
* any Connecticut FRC or FTC team (regardless of where they live, work or attend college)
* any FRC or FTC team attending college in Connecticut
* any FRC or FTC team living in Connecticut
* any FRC or FTC team working in Connecticut
Why join CTFAN?
* to learn about
FIRST events in Connecticut
* to learn about volunteer opportunities with FIRST
* to learn about job and internship opportunities
* to get career mentoring and coaching
* to network with fellow
FIRST alums
* to share your experiences with current
FIRST participants and sponsors

Oh... we are planning to hold a CT FIRST Alumni Reunion at the 2009 Connecticut Regional
FIRST Robotics Competition event in March. The exact details are currently being worked out, but for now keep your calendars open and look for more information to come.
