Re: GM and its impact on FIRST

What the impact of GM's bankruptcy on FIRST?

Well, it is pretty apparent FIRST cannot continue to operate at its current rate for much longer. As an organization deeply rooted in corporate dependencies, FIRST cannot ignore the actions of its (and its teams) benefactors. Thousands of dollars per event is simply too much.


I've heard nothing but praise for the 2009 Michigan district event model. The continuation and spread of this seems like a piece of puzzle for FIRST's sustainability.
