Also remember the Chairman's Award represents a sustained effort and excellence, not just a one year effort. Teams with this sort of sustained effort stand a good chance of earning consecutive regional Chairman's Awards.

I also like to think of the Chairman's Award as the recognition of a team's effort to be the embodiment of FIRST's mission, not necessarily a contest to be won. It's better to focus on the meaning of FIRST in everything the team does, and be sure that is part of everything you do, then the Award will be one of many ways that the team receives recognition.
