Do you use the term "Senior Mentor" on your team?

This season I discovered some mentors were wearing shirts embroidered with the words "FIRST Senior Mentor" - each time I saw it I struggled to figure out who the person was since I didn't recognize them as one of the FSMs I knew. I don't know if it's catching on as a term in FIRST or if I'm just noticing it more (like the phenomenon of noticing all the cars on the road which look like the one you just bought)...

I'm curious if the term is used as an indicator of a person who has been with the team for a long time, or is possibly the team leader. Perhaps teams don't realize that there is a group of people who work for FIRST as "FIRST Senior Mentors" and by using the term it could cause some confusion? http://www.usfirst.org/community/vol...t.aspx?id=3310
