Happy New Year Esri Community Members!

 

I am excited to announce the winners of The 2021 Esri Community Contest.  For the 2021 contest we are recognizing and rewarding three levels of participation in the community. Here are the levels and the respective  winners.

 

Elite Level: This level encompasses our true community super stars, otherwise known as our MVPs. 

  • JCarlson (348 solutions) – Josh joined the elite MVP group earlier this year and has gone above and beyond with his contributions this year. He is always willing to jump in and help fellow members and welcome new members. We greatly appreciate Josh’s energy and valued contributions to the community. Thank you!

 

  • Dan Patterson (339 solutions) – If you have come across Dan in the past year in the community, then you already know that he retired last year, and so we were  worried he might disappear from the community. Thankfully, he has proven us wrong! Dan has continued his valued contributions and engagement in the community, helping answer questions across a variety of topics, helping to direct members, and helping us with moderation of the community. Dan, we very much appreciate you and your contributions and are so thrilled that even in retirement you continue to give back to the Esri Community. Cheers!

 

  • Jayanta Poddar (291 solutions) – Jayanta moved from Esri India into a customer role this year and with that he has brought his vast knowledge and experience into the community helping others, welcoming others, and helping us moderate the community. Thank you, Jayanta, for your continued engagement in the community, it is most appreciated!
