Please join us in congratulating the recipients of the Q4 2009 INETA Community Champion Award! Gaines Kergosien (Nashville Web Developers Group) Chris Eargle (Columbia Enterprise Developers Guild) John Dunagan (South West Florida .NET Developers Group) Michael Wood (Cincinnati .NET Users Group) Peter Kellner (Silicon Valley CA)

The purpose of the INETA Community Champion Award program is to recognize individuals with the highest levels of contributions. Those exceptional leaders and volunteers who devote innumerable hours towards hosting user group meetings, organizing Code Camps and special events, mentoring and supporting their members, publishing newsletters, updating web sites, and the list goes on and on. The Community Champion program provides INETA with an opportunity to showcase the efforts of our user group communities as a whole as well as provide individual recognition. Recognition that we hope will open doors to networking opportunities, potential sponsors, future employers or partnerships.

Special thanks to everyone who took the time and energy to participate in this program. Keep contributing to your local developer community and submit your activities through the Champs program. This is your chance to show the world what community leadership is all about and to gain some of the recognition that you deserve!
