Last week I was excited (and very surprised) to find out that I was awarded the INETA Community Champion Award for Q2 2010. During the last year I have found a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment by getting more involved in the technical community. Most of my involvement came from being new to Phoenix, wanting to meet new people and just wanting to help so the community keeps growing.
Here is the description for the award from the INETA site:
“The INETA Community Champion Award is an annual award given to those who give to the developer community. It is awarded on a quarterly basis and lasts for twelve months. Members record their numerous contributions to the community. At the end of each quarter the top contributors will be selected to receive the INETA Community Champion Award.”
So here’s to starting my second year in the Phoenix area and helping to build our community stronger with each day. Thank you very much for the recognition (even though it is tough for me to think of myself as a champion)!
I hope that I can continue to provide value to the community and am excited to see what we do in the future.
