INETA Community Champions (Champs) Program

What is the INETA Community Champions (Champs) Program?

INETA has partnered with Microsoft and Community Credit to offer INETA members the Community Champions Program. We want to recognize, encourage and reward the developers who routinely devote their time, expertise and passion to the benefit of the community.

As we all know, volunteers are the heart of INETA and of our user groups. We all benefit from their passion for technology and their dedication to helping others. People like our officers, newsletter contributors, presenters and all those who pitch in to make the meetings run smoothly. Every person makes a difference ... YOU make a difference.

If you take a moment to add it all up, you would be surprised by what it takes to make things happen ... and by how much INETA members are doing every day. That is where the INETA Community Champions program comes in. The Champs program is designed to help recognize what volunteers are doing, including the many tasks that others may not even be aware of. It allows volunteers to record their contributions, to see what others are doing, and to be inspired by the results. The program also provides two very special recognition processes, the Community Champion Award and the Community Excellence Award.

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. Find out more and see what others are doing.

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.
