Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

My two cents worth:

Chairmen's is an evolving award. Comparatively, the greater good we can do each year grows exponentially, and so does the message of FIRST. Society changes and so does the the competitive nature of FIRST. As a Michigander, I see the true difficulty some teams face when competing for Chairmen's.

As programs expand we see the undoubtedly significant impact of our actions. Every team, whether they do it for Chairmen's, or do it to change society, removes opportunities for others to do the same. Sure, there is a staggering number of possibilities for teams to pursue, but some might feel overwhelmed. In Michigan, it is difficult (though by no stretch of the imagination impossible) to win a Chairmen's award if you have not procured one previously.

But look around. The community is waiting. Innovation permits the creation and utilization of some remarkable things. Push forward! Create some crazy ideas and see them through. As we have Unsung FIRST Heroes, there are many Unsung FIRST Teams. Winning Chairmen's is something to be proud of, but the actions we take for those around us; those are something to be even more proud of.
