2013 Chairman's Exchange

[Red2486]

A year or two ago, we noticed how many teams wanted to apply for the Chairman's Award, but felt like they didn't have a starting point, especially when it comes to the presentation. We wanted to have a place where teams could talk to other Chairman's Presenters to ask questions. We also thought it would be valuable for teams applying for the Chairman's Award to be able to practice with others who can provide suggestions and feedback the day before presenting to the judges. This is why we, FRC team 2486, the CocoNuts, created the "Chairman's Exchange".

What: The Chairman's Exchange is an opportunity for teams to practice their Chairman's Award presentation, share ideas, and receive feedback from their peers.

Where: The Edward Jones Dome, up the escalators in the area with all the round tables.

When: 1:00pm-2:30pm, Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Who: All teams are invited and encouraged to come! We especially encourage Rookie Teams, teams who want to apply for the award but never have, teams who applied but didn't win the award, and teams who have won the award to attend!


This is our first year doing this and we really hope to see you there!!

Wow. Nothing to say except this is a really great idea.

Spectrum won't be there to participate but I love this idea. Any chance you could also film (those that give permission) and post them. I think it will help all the teams that can't make it to St. Louis.

This is an excellent idea, but also be advised that John Larock of Team 365 will be conducting a conference called "Chairman's Chat" on Thursday from 3 - 4:45 PM. Many CCA winners will be in attendance to answer your questions.

Your Chairman's Exchange idea looks like it will also be very valuable. Good luck with your efforts.

Yes, we were aware of the Chairman's chat, that is why we chose the time we did. We wanted to invite your team, and any Championship Chairman's teams (sorry, I forgot to list it), so that they can also help with the actual presentations for teams if they would like! Then the plan was that we could all head over to the Chairmans Chat afterwards.

We should see if any of the Hall of Fame teams can come since they are doing the Chairman's Chat right after.

This is a great idea! If we get permission from teams, we definitely will!
