Mentor Advisory Council (MAC)
FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Coaches and Mentors,
Welcome to the Mentor Advisory Council (MAC)! Beginning in September, GeorgiaFIRST will host once per month “MAC Meetings” via Zoom to serve as a local information channel and a way for our Peachtree District (PCH) mentors/coaches to collaborate with each other on important topics.
These calls will be scheduled for a one-hour timeframe. Each call will begin with District updates. The remainder of the hour will be filled with lively discussion from you, our team leadership.
MAC Meeting dates are set for the third Thursday of every month, beginning September 15th, from 7:00-8:00pm. Call-in information will be posted on the gafirst.org website and sent to you via the Peach Press eBlast.
How can you help facilitate a MAC Meeting topic?
Sign up to be MAC call facilitator. Facilitators will choose a topic of interest to present to the group for discussion, feedback, best practices and collaboration. This is not a time for power point presentations. We envision these calls to be conversational and beneficial. You are the “boots on the ground” that know the ins and outs of running a team. Through collaboration we can help solve issues, clarify processes and support each other as a whole.
Participate in the monthly MAC calls. Simple! Just join the call to offer your input or listen for helpful hints.
Suggest monthly topics for discussion.
If you are interested in facilitating a monthly call or suggesting a topic, please send your interest to Lisa Hatch (lhatch@gafirst.org)
Thank you for all that you do!
