At the last officers meeting, we voted to change the meeting schedule starting *next week* until winter break. This is largely to increase the amount of meeting time that mentors can attend so that they can help with training and team work in-person.

The upcoming meeting schedule will be:
- Team meeting on Tuesday from 3:45-5:30 + 6:00-8:00
- Team meeting on Friday from 3:45-5:30 + 6:00-8:00
- Officers meeting on Friday from 4:30-5:30 (during the team meeting)

Both of these meetings will include a regular, directly after school portion followed by a late meeting. There will be a 30 minute break between the two for dinner.

If you are able, we would recommend attending the late sessions since that is when mentors are available for training, but it is okay if that doesn't work for your schedule.

## 3/24
@channel I wanted to let all of you know about a few things regarding the rest of our season this year.

Our season so far has been amazing and we have made so much progress as a team! Our season goal was to win at least 50% of our matches and with a record of 17-12 we have achieved that. I'm proud of how much we have been able to grow as a team this year and look forward to where it might lead in the future!

As many of you might know, there is a possibility that we will make it to the PNW district championships this year. The number of district ranking points we have puts us right at the boundary of being able to attend and with so many different factors and things that could still happen there is no way of knowing if we will be able to attend. With the last two events happening this weekend we should know if we qualify by the end of Sunday.

Please make sure to check slack and your and your parents emails for any updates regarding this. If we do end up going there will be a lot of deadlines coming up very quickly so if you would like to attend you will have to be keeping up with team communication. 

Thank you all for an amazing season so far!

Elections for next year are coming up soon! 

Platforms will be due on May 19th so if you would like to run for a position you should start thinking about what you would like to write. There will be a form sent out so submit your platforms and photos in the next week or two. At the meeting on May 19th everyone who submitted a platform will give their stump speech in front of the whole team to tell everyone why you should vote for them. Please make sure to come to this meeting! It is important whether you are running or not so you are informed about the candidates.

After May 19th everyone will have one week to cast their ballots. Ballots will be due at the end of the meeting on May 26th and results will be posted on slack shortly after. *Ballots are private and only Mr. Myers and mentors will be able to see them*. You must also get a physical ballot from Mr. Myers' room and turn it in sometime during that week. 

We will be using ranked-choice voting again this year for our elections. If you do not know what that is, [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z2fRPRkWvY) explains the process.

The available positions to run for are:
Business & Marketing Officer
- Manage team branding (logo, shirts, banners, pit displays)
- Create promotional materials and maintain website/social media
- Develop sponsor packets and lead sponsor outreach
- Support team sustainability through fundraising, grant applications, and strategic planning
- Lead work on awards (Impact, Entrepreneurship, etc.)
- Organize community events and STEM outreach efforts
Logistics Officer
- Schedule and facilitate mentor and student onboarding and orientation
- Manage build season calendars and event timelines
- Make purchases, track orders, and inventory orders when received
- Coordinate travel plans, packing lists, and pit organization
- Ensure tools, materials, and robot parts are ready and packed
- Arrange meals and snacks for events
Strategy Officer (Scouting & Game Analysis)
- Lead or delegate analysis of the game and propose strategic goals for robot design
- Collaborate with Subject Matter Experts to revise match strategy as the robot design evolves during build season.
- Lead or delegate the development of scouting systems and data collection methods
- Collaborate with Drive Coach to organize drive team selection and training
- Manage the team’s FIRST Official Q&A
- Ensure that match strategy and scouting reports are prepared during competition
- Collaborate with Controls and Mechanical on gameplay needs
Mechanical Officer
- Lead the mechanical department in designing, prototyping, building robot components
- Lead physical electrical and wiring work for the robot
- Assign tasks and ensure safe use of tools and equipment
- Work with mentors to train team members on fabrication and design
- Collaborate with Controls on subsystem integration
- Maintain documentation (CAD models, part drawings, manufacturing notes)
- Help prep spare parts and repair kits for competition
Controls Officer 
- Oversee coding of teleop and autonomous programs
- Manage version control, code documentation and wiring diagrams
- Ensure communication between software and mechanical systems
- Work with mentors to teach coding basics
- Coordinate with Strategy to integrate drive team needs

For next year we will be transitioning from a President/Vice President model to Co-Presidents that split the responsibilities of leading the team. These responsibilities include:
- Planning and running officer meetings
- Ensuring interdepartmental communication
- Managing overall team timeline
- Ensuring a team budget is created
- Checking in with officers
- Ensuring paperwork is completed
- Supporting a positive team culture
- Running team meetings
- Communicating with team member, the school and parents
- Managing safety for the team
- Managing team outreach

Everyone running for these roles will run for the role of Co-President and then the top two winners of the ranked choice voting will get the positions.

If you are running for a position you will need to submit a max 250 word platform and a photo of yourself. If you would like to look at the voter guide from last year [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WkcdfLxLSmhtI_39RIutRfnE6LRtq93a/view?pli=1) is a link.

I know this was a long message so thanks for staying with me. I hope everyone is excited for the team to move into next year!
