Some friends have been wondering: Have you been awarded Lync MVP? That answer is: I’m humbled and honored to have been awarded Microsoft Lync MVP designation on Jan 1, 2012. Since I haven’t nominated myself or asked for this award, I would like to thank those who took the time and were a part of the process.
The MVP program is really about community—and I’d like to say that Microsoft Lync has an incredibly strong community thanks to the many veteran MVPs and thousands of others who contribute to make everyone’s life a little easier. Congratulate yourself.
For those not familiar with the MVP you might ask, What is an MVP? Below is Microsoft’s description:
The Microsoft MVP Award recognizes exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who voluntarily share their high quality, real world expertise with others. Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of experts representing technology's best and brightest who share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others. Worldwide, there are over 100 million participants in technical communities; of these participants, there are fewer than 4,000 active Microsoft MVPs. (for more details click here)
Now, off to going through the sign up process…
PS- At this point I’m planning to be at the MVP Summit 2012.
Congrats! it is great to see you "prospering".

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It’s always encouraging when others in your industry notice and acknowledge your commitment.
ReplyDelete@Shannon, hey thanks Shannon. Also appreciate friends/ family that have an interest. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've been (continue to be) involved in several industry "communities" that dont have formal recognition, so this is not expected & a bonus. ;-)
