Upcoming Season

[Leon Machado IV]

We've tried to jump in a number of directions. I think we were going to be the original support system for FIRSTers and FIRST teams. We've tried to jump in many directions in an attempt to get people to join and I think that's run us thin. I'll be at Riverrage probably looking over my documents trying to come up with something if someone cares to brainstorm with me. TTYL.

I unfortunately won't be able to make it to River Rage, I'll probably be out flying.

It seems that your topic of interest is very broad, so when brainstorming... I'd suggest narrowing IF's service to either a specific geographical area, or specific aspect of helping FIRST Teams. Another thing, I found it easier to recruit help when there is an established organization (or idea of org) in place. Many people want to be helpful, but many would rather just be told what needs to be done instead of participating in the overall structure & management concepts.

Sounds like a great place to start. Many thanks for the advice. I'll try to post what we come up with for everyone to look over. I guess if people have thoughts before Riverrage, post them, and I'll attempt to bring them with me.
