Sustainable FIRST teams ….need your help

[Dennis Hughes]

The Objective of the FIRST President's Circle is to provide FIRST teams with the best practices, tools, resources, and advice to empower them to stimulate the formation of new, sustainable FIRST teams.

As a participant in the FIRST President’s Circle, I’m looking for other team’s documents, manuals, whitepapers ect. related to the following topics:
• Yearly team calendars, schedules, timelines (what you do when)
• Students applications (how do your students apply)
• Team organization charts
• Company sponsorship proposal packages (how do you ask companies for funding)

Thanks ....

Check out MOE 365 website and look at the MOEmentum website, MOEmentum is a resource for new FIRST teams to help guide them during their first season. MOEmentum has tips on everything from applications to organization, build and everything else you can need. Good luck hope that helps.

TechnoKats 45 handbook is here, it's last years, but hopefully we can update our website with this years soon.

Pretty much covers your questions, except the company sponsorships. We have been supported by Delphi and KHS since 1992, and Ivy Tech and Duke for many years. However, this year we may be creating a formal sponsorship proposal that we can take into the public to boost our support.
