Presentation Tips?

[Joe Ross]

Too late for Bjorn, but I still have a question.

Do people think it is better to dress up (suit, etc) or
dress as a team (team shirts, buttons, etc)?

I guess you can always take my layers trick a step further--team shirts with khakis is a pretty good casual look, as long as the buttons don't go overboard. (We had one kid on our team just binge on buttons. He was a windchime by Thursday at Palmetto.)

Well, to be fair this foundation can't give all that money away, they are required to try to save/grow a lot of it...

BUT apparently a bunch of local developers (think high-rise construction) have been guilted into "giving back to the community" because they are "burdening the school district"...

I don't care WHY they do it, but it sounds good to me...

Moral of the story: One (wo)man's guilt is another (wo)man's Gain!

I think a combination of the two would be best. Wearing a team competition t-shirt could be a bit tacky... if a team has polo shirts with a simple logo on it, now that could work.

With an audience like the one Bjorn presented to, I would have worn the black button-up collard FIRST shirt I got from Logo Loc with a skirt or dress pants & nice shoes.

So I'd say... dress professionally with some FIRST parafanalia, but don't go in competition wear.

Professional dress, but bring a photo/include a slide of the team uniform.
