I am honored and moved being elected as an IBM Champion for ICS in 2015! 
I want to thank all who voted for me. It is a pleasure to be a part of this strong and generous community.
The IBM Champion program honors people around the globe who
- Evangelize and advocate for IBM Collaboration Solutions
- Share knowledge and expertise
- Help grow and nurture the community
- Expand reach across the IBM portfolio
- Present feedback, both negative and positive, in a constructive and professional manner
I'll keep up my efforts in growing the community work, share what I can and keep in touch with those great people.
Theo Heselmans made a small statistic and gave us some interesting numbers (without warranty):
- 96 champs for 2015
- 23 new ones (compared to last year)
- 26 of the original 2011 class
- 14 champs from 2014 no longer with us
- 2015: 96; 2014: 87; 2013: 78; 2012: 63; 2011: 50
Thanks again & congrats to all the champs of 2015!
