Re: Chairmans Award tips

If I could only recommend three things to teams I would recommend the following:

1) Have your presenters talk to some people that have been on the team for years. We talked to Al on the way to Atlanta and it was great, knowing where the team came from really helped us know the spirit and history of WildStang and really made answering questions easier, allowing us to get through more questions in the interview process. It also allowed us to share with the rest of the team where we came from.

2) Just applying is an achievement. You have come far enough to fill out something in every category and that's awesome. Congrats to you, always be proud. Applying for the Chairman's Award isn't just a product of the "Chairman's team", it's a reflection of every person who has ever been on the team, after all, the team wouldn't exist without it's members.


3) Be yourselves. Don't spend time trying to be just like team so and so who won in year whatever. Every team has something unique to bring to the table, show your uniqueness. If your team is quirky and fun then apply a theme to your essay, if you are a business then make it more business like.

-Kelli

Also... on the video side, remember that if you win this will be the video that is played when you guys are introduced. Wow the audience with something that is quality. If you want help let me know, I can read essays or review your videos.
