Our budget and finance team has really come a long way this year toward creating a sale-able sponsorship "package". I'd be happy to share...we're only 90 minutes away - what works here should work in Chapel Hill!
I believe it is healthy to leave FIRST at some point and carry on with a well-rounded life (family, fun, school, & work). Focus your creative energy on developing your skills as a professional; then, come back to FIRST as a mentor later down the line. - Erin Rapacki [more]
