Navigating your community journey en route to a Microsoft MVP award

Aspiring for an MVP award usually gets community leaders started on choosing, and sometimes even changing, their path / contributions in order to better their chances of qualifying for the award. In reality though, the MVP award doesn’t require any community leader to change their engagement style; instead it only inspires them to accelerate their contribution quality by focusing on impact and influence, instead of playing the traditional numbers game. Join Deepak and Smita as they walk aspirants through the program definition, selection criteria, benefits etc. and also reflect on Smita’s personal journey to becoming an MVP as one of our most recent awardees.
