Chairman's Alliance - collaborative practice

In past years, we’ve gotten incredibly useful feedback from doing practice Chairman’s presentations with other teams. In the spirit of Open Alliance, we’re working with 7407 to pilot a
Chairman’s Alliance project so more teams have that experience. We’re hoping to bring together a few teams (virtually) to run through their presentations, field practice questions, and receive actionable feedback, all led by an experienced facilitator.

These practices are meant to be working meetings and presentations are expected to be rough drafts. We’re scheduling these early enough that teams can to incorporate feedback and still have plenty of practice time before their official Chairman’s presentation.

Is this your team’s first year presenting for the Chairman’s Award, or are you a rookie team? We invite you to come observe, learn, and ask questions. Sign up through the registration form.

We will do our best to accommodate if there is a date/time conflict so don’t hesitate to sign up if it’s just the exact date that’s the barrier.

The first practice will be Tuesday Feb 22 for teams that are presenting at Week 1 or Week 2 events. Teams that are presenting later are welcomed, of course, but we know that presentations may not be ready even in rough draft that far in advance. If there’s enough interest, we will organize another practice in mid-March.

Just bumping this up to see if any other teams want to join us next week. Exact time can actually be pretty fluid based on time zones for the teams participating, so we’ll do our best to work with your schedule.

Thanks!

One more follow up. We had a great response from the teams that got together to practice recently, so we’re opening up the opportunity again to teams that are presenting in the next few weeks. If you’re interested in some practice for your Chairman’s presentation with feedback and practice questions from experienced presenters, let us know in the registration form (just ignore the dates - we’ll find a time that works for everyone).

Thanks!

We’re doing our senior exit interviews this week, and our outreach captain said that this event was great practice and the feedback was really helpful. She strongly recommended that we sign up for it again next year if possible. Thank you for organizing this!

That’s great to hear, thank you for the feedback! I know our team got a lot out of the practice and comments as well.
