Community Leader of the Year

Community Leader of the Year 26 Jun 2008 16:33

Darryl just announced this years "Community Leader of the Year" awards, which recognizes some of the stars within the Microsoft community here in NZ who really go above and beyond to make the user groups and other community events happen nationwide.

Check out Darryls post for all the detail..

In particular I would like to give a special mention to Kirk Jackson who has been organizing the Wellington .NET User Groups and Adrian Engelbrecht who runs the Wellington SQL Server User Group.

Kirk has been running the original .NET user group here in Wellington for many years now, and does so without any fuss or complaints. Not just that but he is one of the most likable guys you will meet :) Next time you pop along to one of the Wellington .NET User Groups, make sure you say hello to Kirk and give him some love for all the hard work he puts in :)

Adrian has been running the SQL Server User Group since it started up last year, and quickly established it as a regular user group serving the local SQL Server community. Adrian saw the success we were having with the standard .NET User Groups, but being a DBA he wanted to see more SQL Server (and who wouldnt?) so he took it upon himself to establish a group and put in the hard yards getting it up and running. Again, please thank Adrian when you are next at the SQL Server User Group, its largely been down to his effort and determination that we have it at all :)

So thanks guys and keep up the awesome work! :)

Thanks Jeremy. I just wanted to say that the 'hello' is sufficient :) Kirk
