Rich threw it all together above folks. But to add, make the award your own and make it work for your team and community. After having spoken with many Chairman's Awards Finalist at different Regionals, they all have different game plans and styles. That is what makes the award unique challenge, it allows teams to demonstrate how to solve a problem in a variety of different ways while making a lasting effect on society. I always enjoy hearing all of the different stories from region to region and nationally.
