It looks like our own Tara Kizer has been designated an MVP! Congratulations! It's a great recognition for all the people you've helped over the years.

Thanks! I got nominated by the lead of the MVP team, Ben Miller. It shows that SQLTeam is now recognized by MS as a leading SQL Server site.

Congratulations Tara. Am surprised you arent already an MVP? Or is this a renewal? Also, Ben Miler has moved out of MS and is no longer MVP Lead. Perhaps someone else nominated you?

Because I don't participate in any other forums or communities online. It used to be that only the MS forums were used to find the MVPs. Also because the nomination came directly from MS.

Yes thats seemed to be the case..If nothing else at least you get a free 4 day boarding/lodging paid tour in Seattle...
And if you couldnt attend that you got the 150 bucks you can buy lots of mugs and coffee cups with it..

A bunch of guys @ SSP also got their MVPs...wohooo....

Well there's a lot more perks than just 150 bucks at the MS store.

Couldn't happen to a nicer gal, but wont it kinda degrade your title?

I can't find it now but I thought SSMS help had a link directly to SQLTeam. Or maybe it was Visual Studio 2005 - I can't check as I don't have a copy in front of me.

EDIT - Ooops - and congratulations Tara - fantastic news

Congratulations Tara
(p.s. MS tends to be a bit sensitive about info you give out about the program and I'd be surprised if Ben was the first person to nominate you)
