I woke up to a nice e-mail today, from the Microsoft® Community Contributor Award team.

Apparently someone appreciates my contributions to the Lync Forum site and maybe here on my blog. Whoever nominated and or found me worthy of this award should know I really appreciate this kind of recognition. I find it inspiring and encouraging.

Having received this award, I will most certainly continue my work here on the blog and keep on answering and helping fellow community members on the Technet site.

Thank You!
