In a recent announcement this week, INETA outlined a new program designed to reward the very hard work of User Group community contributors.
User Group contributors are encouranged to participate and submit their contributions regularly on the INETA website.
Here is what INETA has to say about the awards programs:
Community Champions Award
Once a quarter, INETA will recognize leading contributors as Community Champions. In addition to claiming this prestigious title for twelve months, awardees also receive a letter of commendation, a certificate of achievement, much deserved online recognition, and a few great prizes. Of course, we want this award to motivate even more involvement, so we encourage everyone, including winners, to record your activities. After all, you are eligible to win every twelve months.
Community Excellence Award
In recognition of their lifetime achievements, INETA is proud to present our most dedicated leaders with the Community Excellence Award. You know the people that we mean, so we are counting on YOU to start the award process by nominating them for this elite honor. These are the outstanding individuals who, year after year, have gone above and beyond to lay the foundation and provide the structure for building our community and to keep it vibrant and growing. They step up when called upon; they are our leaders and mentors; they inspire us to stretch our horizons; and they help provide us with resources along the way.
None of this would be possible without the help of my friend David Silverlight, who has been providing a similar service to community contributors on Community-Credit.
So what are you waiting for? Go sign up and start submitting your work to win lots of great prizes, such as:
- An MSDN Subscription. And, if you already have one, you can choose an XBox instead
- The Fame and Prestige of having an award to hang on your wall that shows that INETA recognizes your contributions to the User Group Community.
- Official Recognition on the INETA Website for one year.
- A Badge for your website showing that you are a Community Champion.
