MVP renewal 2022

on

I am humbled and honored to receive my 8th MVP award for the community contributions I make on “M365 apps & Services”. It is a privilege to be a part of this great community, and there is a lot of hard work behind every nomination and renewal.

Although you might feel you've done enough this year, you never know until you see the email with the words "Congratulations!". Since I was a bit uncertain how the performance during the pandemic would affect my chances this year, It was really great to get the confirmation this morning. 
The Microsoft MVP Award gives us the unique opportunity to celebrate, honor and say thank you to top-notch technology experts who make outstanding contributions to their communities. These technology experts have an unstoppable urge to get their hands on new, exciting technologies and love to share their knowledge. While there is no single way to become an MVP, we have some great examples that showcase our MVPs and the passion, community spirit and leadership they have exhibited to earn the MVP award.

Being an MVP is really inspirational and rewarding at the same time. I can't wait to see what this next year will bring. And how many new friends I will make. 

Thank you Microsoft, the MVP Team, PGI groups, MVP regional Lead and MVP product Leads. You know who you are!
