Chris Elston elected New Indiana FIRST President

I kind of feel weird posting my own news, but last night at the Kokomo Indiana FIRST leaders meeting something weird happened. I was nominated to be the president for Indiana FIRST.

Some of the items on the TO DO list this year are:

  • Fix the Indiana FIRST website: www.indianafirst.org
  • Indiana FIRST license plates
  • Incorporate the organization and gain 503c status
  • Resource sharing bulk buying idea
  • Invite teams out of state to attend Kokomo forums
  • Investigate something for Indiana like Michigan is doing in 2009
  • Some kind of event Calendar on the website
  • Publish the present, and past Indiana FIRST officer minutes.
  • Publish and update bylaws

Interesting stuff, and I feel a bit nervous, but at the same time honored to try and serve all 27 teams in Indiana as well as be your 2009 Team T.H.R.U.S.T team President. I may need a zantac before it’s over.
