GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM® A FIRST CREDO

Gracious Professionalism® is part of the ethos of FIRST. It's a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.

  • Gracious attitudes and behaviors are win-win
  • Gracious folks respect others and let that respect show in their actions
  • Professionals possess special knowledge and are trusted by society to use that knowledge responsibly
  • Gracious Professionals make a valued contribution in a manner pleasing to others and to themselves

This means that all teams and participants should:


  • Learn to be strong competitors, but also treat one another with respect and kindness in the process
  • Avoid leaving anyone feeling as if they are excluded or unappreciated
  • Genuinely blend knowledge, pride and empathy
