Re: Issues with BAE Sponsorhip
As Doug posted in his response, my local contact sent us an application with no guarantees. The person also stated that their division was going to sponsored 6 or so teams in the various locations that they are in. We were one of the fortunate teams.
I'm not sure why your contact would have written it off. Sounds like you should contact Doug Coffey about that.

Maybe different locations of BAE have different procedures in picking the teams they work with?
We are the ONLY team in Brevard County, FL that does not have a corporate sponsor. This is not due to a lazy effort, but mostly because every high school in the county has a team - thus there aren't many companies left to reach out to. We aren't giving up - just trying to get our bearings.
Thanks!
