New York Districts?

[kbrowncny]

Start looking at Central NY - Utica area. I know SUNY IT is there and they are heavily involved with FTC. I would be surprised if some passionate individual couldn't get a FRC team going there. There are also plenty of potential corporate sponsors: Indium, Special Metals, SUNY IT NANO Tech facility etc. I grew up in this area and its disappointing to see that no FRC teams have popped up since.

In this area hotels are very cheap, it is also a good central location 3 hrs from Rochester, 4 hrs from NYC, 4 hrs to northern NY. 5 hrs from Buffalo.

We have a team at SUNY.It's a regional one.

If you want this to happen, then volunteer. Go to your RPC--contact Glen Pearson and Ana Martinez, respectively--and don't tell them that you want districts, ask them, "what can I do to help make districts a reality in New York next year?"

And then do those things, and recruit others to do those things.

My impression for several years now has been that lots of people say they want districts in New York, but very few of them are putting in any time or effort to make it happen.

Want it? Go get it.
