Below the definition of IBM Champion :
What do IBM Champions Do?
These
individuals evangelize IBM solutions, share their knowledge, and help
grow the community of professionals who are focused on IBM offerings.
IBM Champions spend a considerable amount of their own time, energy, and
resources on community efforts—organizing and leading user group
events, answering questions in forums, contributing articles and
applications, publishing podcasts, sharing instructional videos, and
more.
We have book authors and YouTube stars, as well as those who work
behind the scenes as client, press, or analyst references.
The program
selects Champions annually based on individual contributions that go
beyond the scope of a person's job, so that we can recognize and reward
those who give so generously of their time, effort, and energy.
I like to say I'm proud and honored to be part of the list , because being apart of this group helps my work every day with news, betas and collaborations with friends all around the world.
This will be probably my last year on this list because IBM has sold ICS software to HCL , but I'm sure this will be an amazing here to be an IBM Champion !
Many thanks IBM , Libby Ingrassia and Alan Hamilton for all your help and support.
