I just received an email congratulating me on being awarded with the 2011 Microsoft MVP Award. This is the second year I have received this award and I am proud to have been able to be involved in helping the IT community, specifically in the Small Business Server area.

From the website (mvp.support.microsoft.com) – The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award is an annual award given to outstanding members of Microsoft’s technical communities based on contributions made during the previous 12 months to offline and online Microsoft-related technical communities. Microsoft MVP Award recognizes exceptional technical community leaders worldwide who actively share their knowledge with other technical community members. Of 100 million technical community participants worldwide, about 4,000 are MVPs. Outstanding technical community members are nominated by their peers, Microsoft employees, and MVPs.

I have enjoyed my partnership with Microsoft during the past year under this role as a Microsoft MVP and I certainly look forward to another year of interaction.
