WoooooW, I am chosen to be one of few to be an EMC Elect.

In November 2012 EMC announced a new recognition program called EMC Elect. This program provides community driven recognition to individuals who have demonstrated the highest levels of commitment to thought leadership in the fields of information management, Cloud computing, and big data. The scope of this award is unprecedented within EMC. The EMC Elect program has designed to span the gap between brand loyalty and brand advocacy. The idea of the program is similar to Microsoft MVP and VMware vExpert programs.

The top three reasons people were chosen for EMC Elect are:

1. Regular engagement on the EMC Community Network
2. Great conversations on Twitter
3. Strong technical presence via blogs and at industry events

On 15th of January 2013, EMC announced the first 75 community members that were selected to the EMC Elect 2013 program by their contributions in the past year, and …… WOOOOWWW … I have been selected as one of those honored 75 members out of 270 nominated for this honor . I’m very pleased to be one of those 75 top contributors that were selected. Thanks to all my followers and other community members! Here is the official list of all members:

Besides myself I congratulate everyone who has been selected as an EMC Elect too, I am truly honored and humbled to be selected to the EMC Elect community and incredibly excited to further promote the EMC brand and to help others in the community along the way. Thanks EMC.
