So last week I was lucky enough to attend the 2018 MVP Summit. It was great to catch up with old friends, make new ones and work with the Product Group on the products we all know and love.

So 2016 got off to great start for me (apart from suffering with a bad cold all over Xmas which I’m still getting over), by my MVP being renewed for the 13th consecutive year

Many thanks to Microsoft and all of you for your help and support of this and previous years, it means a lot to me and hope to be able to serve you over this coming year (more on that in a moment).

Once again I am delighted yet humbled to be re-awarded as a MVP for Enterprise Client Management for the 12th consecutive year.

Thank you to my friends, family, colleagues, fellow MVPs and of course YOU the community for your support in 2014, a year from a personal point of view I’m glad to see the back of.

I’m hoping that this year I can finally share with you an idea I’ve always dreamed about and now seems to be finally becoming a reality – more on this when the time is right.

Well 2014 got off to a fantastic start for me.

Not only were we in Lisbon (where we dream of emigrating to if anyone is looking for ConfigMgr guy but I also received the following email from Microsoft.

It goes without saying how humbled, pleased and honoured I am to be renewed for the 11th consecutive year and I want to thank Microsoft and you the community without whom none of this would be possible.

I look forward to 2014, wishing you and yours all the very best and continuing to serve you.

So effective today all of the ConfigMgr MVPs are being re-branded as “Enterprise Client Management” MVPs.

This does not impact the product in anyway and for me personally it’s business as usual, I just wanted to communicate the name change in case you go “Huh? Where did all the ConfigMgr MVPs go?” or “Is Microsoft renaming/ ConfigMgr?” or even worse “Does ConfigMgr no longer exist as Microsoft has renamed all of the MVPs?”.

Any questions/ concerns just give me a shout but this really shouldn’t affect you/ isn’t anything for you to be concerned about.

Well my 2013 has gotten off to fantastic start with the email from Microsoft telling me I’ve been re-awarded my ConfigMgr MVP. What makes this extra special is this is my 10th consecutive year for which I feel very honoured and humbled at the same time. I like to try to do “my bit” for the community and the product and it’s so nice to be recognised for my efforts. In the mean time I wish you and your loved one’s a very Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous 2013 and many thanks once again for all of your help and efforts in helping me retain my MVP status – there’s no point being a MVP unless you have a community to serve.

Well my 2012 got off to a fantastic start with the email from Microsoft telling me I’ve been re-awarded my ConfigMgr MVP for the 9th consecutive year for which I feel very honoured and humbled at the same time. I like to try to do “my bit” for the community and the product and it’s so nice to be recognised for my efforts. I’m already busy working on stuff for this year and hope that a couple of my long term planned dreams finally come to fruition but more on this when the time is right. In the mean time I wish you and your loved one’s a very Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous 2012 and many thanks once again for all of your help and efforts in helping me retain my MVP status – there’s no point being a MVP unless you have a community to serve. “Dear Cliff Hobbs, Congratulations!
