Go to Post FIRST is like riding a bike. At first it may seem hard and confusing, but after a few tries you get the hang of it and its smooth sailing from then on out. - Tom Bottiglieri [more]

Try the websites of chairman's award winning teams. I know RUSH has posted a "toolkit for success" and distributes it as much as possible to anyone who wants to start a team or just did start a team.

Oh I don't disagree.

Team 365 is hard to beat when looking for resources. GO MOE!

Miss Daisy's Team-in-a-Box is another resource.

Re: Calling All FIRST Teams

This is a great idea, but may have already been covered by other resources that are available to teams. The Mentor Resources library on the FIRST website, the NEMO website, the Kickoff and Conference Workshops site and the Think Tank, as well as the white papers here on CD and the other team's websites, have covered a lot of topics including team organization.

Re: Calling All FIRST Teams

Rookies and veterans should study other teams and organizations to learn how successful operations work and how failure comes about.

Mentoring business plans to a team is certainly preferred rather than allowing teams to 'self discover'. They may as well 'self discover' chemistry and calculus.

I will be having a seminar at the Championship 2010 entitled "Donuts & Dollars: Creating a Financially Stable Organization".

It will not be a cookie cutter approach to fundraising but a little more complicated.

It is about helping the participants create effective strategies to help their community understand what they do, value what that do, and consequently the community provide more support to the team, financially and otherwise.

The conference seminar will be on youtube a couple of weeks after the event.

Re: Calling All FIRST Teams

You should check out 27 Team RUSH's team manuel. It's a comprehensive model for running a team. From that you can write your own business plan specific to your own team's needs/wants/desires.
