National Advocacy Conference Update

On July 30, 2018 members of the Horsepower 4991 met to discuss current and future plans for the direction of the team. We reviewed what we learned from the FIRST National Advocacy Conference (NAC) that we attended in DC. We’re excited to be working with other teams in the area to coordinate more local advocacy efforts. We hope to share more of what we’ve been working on soon!

We also discussed our business plan and created a list of short term, long term, and individual goals for the team. We set budgetary goals and decided what expectations we have for members of Horsepower 4991. The finalized business plan will be up on the website when it is completed.

In addition to the business plan we began considering our team organization. We looked at project management software to possibly implement into the team’s structure. Designing our pit will be a test drive for the software so we can decide which to use.

We’re excited at the prospect of pre-season works, and getting started in summer is just one way we’re preparing for the upcoming season.
