What is Gracious Professionalism?
Gracious Professionalism® is part of the ethos of FIRST®. The idea and phrase are found throughout FIRST, but no one has been a stronger champion than FIRST Executive Advisory Board Co-Chair & Distinguished Advisor, Dr. Woodie Flowers. “Gracious Professionalism is a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community. With Gracious Professionalism, fierce competition and mutual gain are not separate notions. Gracious Professionals learn and compete like crazy but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process.”
We expect all team members, volunteers, coaches, and families to behave as Gracious Professionals.
