Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Looking for Beta Test Teams

I thought the opportunities provided by and through the beta test teams were no less than awesome and I'm glad to see this initiative being made available again this year. Innovation doesn't always come along in ways we can expect or anticipate and the beta test teams were a great innovative idea, offering an opportunity to kick the tires a few times.

The requirements placed on a beta test team should not be, and to my knowledge, are not taken lightly. Also, the geographical areas make a big difference. Nothing is the same in any given area, including mentor support and availability. Many of the beta test teams help mentor teams that would suffer otherwise. It would be great to have initiatives in place like this for other aspects of team development - to help teams succeed and achieve. Whether they take advantage of the opportunities provided by applying to be a beta test team or by following the findings of the beta test teams is up to the individual teams.

A few may grouse among the many but in the end, all potentially benefit.
