Hi Jenny,

I'm not directly connected with the new company, but I'll tell you what they told me: their planned community support program is aimed at supporting teams directly. They will support all the teams that participate in the program. They will increase support to teams that refer other teams to the program -- think of it as a referral bonus.

So I think you might consider signing up as many Maryland teams as you can, one at a time, using the referral field to give credit for each new team to the previous one. That way you'll maximize the combined potential referral bonus. Since you are well-known as a mentor for all of these teams, I think that method would be consistent with the new company's intent. You could list yourself as the contact for every team, or provide separate contacts for each.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
