Also, please note that this year FIRST is encouraging mentors on teams to register in TIMS again so FIRST can provide them with mentor recognition items in January.

Another benefit is that when a mentor is invited by the team leader to register in TIMS, (s)he completes the personal information section and can choose to receive e-mail blasts from FIRST by checking the "Email Broadcast Opt-in" box. I often hear from mentors that they are not kept in the loop from their team leaders/alternate contacts and this will enable them to choose to receive these important e-mails as well!
