Re: Kickoff Feedback

Being my first time in NH all the fanfare was pretty new to me.

Honestly, I liked the couch chat, I do agree that it could have been done a bit earlier (maybe replace one or two of the speeches), and/or could have been a little bit shorter... but I was really impressed that they got a professional reporter to help out, and it was a really good intro for the new team members. Every year when I hear people complain about how boring the kickoff is, I want them to realize this is the first kickoff for a lot of members on our team, as well as all the new rookie teams. And while Dean and Woodie may seem long-winded at times, their points are always very valid, and they want to make sure that we don't get sucked in by what we initially emulated, that we continually hold ourselves to high standards.

The only thing that caught me a little off guard was when John Abele introduced the Chairmans team video... You would hope the Chairman of FIRST would know the team that won the Chairmans Award if Chairmans is really that important...
