Is this something that people would be interested in?

If this were to be pursued, it could have an educational aspect attached to it. How does the non-profit work and what has to be in place for that to work? How does the reserve work? What impact does the budget, the amount in reserve have on soliciting/keeping sponsorships, vendors, venues, political support, global support/recognition? An overview/big picture and some details involved in the business aspect/funding.
That would be cool. The business plan/package is a large part of every team, every event and regional planning committee, and FIRST.
If they were to share some of their thoughts and expertise with the FIRST community, it would be beneficial and clear away myth and misperceptions.
