Nominate your colleagues for the Community Champion Award


The Yammer Community Champion Award is an opportunity to recognize passionate community managers around the world who are committed to employee engagement, knowledge sharing, and collaboration in their Yammer networks and communities.


As part of our first Yammer Community Festival, we will announce regional winners of the Yammer Community Champion Award.


 


Can you think of anyone who deserves this title? Tell us who you think should win this award!


There will be one winner per regional session and winners will be contacted in advance of session that they have been ‘shortlisted’ as a top contender for the Yammer Community Champion Award. This is to ensure the winners are present to virtually accept their award. Based on network size, the number of nominations per organization is not limited as there may be many opportunities within a company to submit a nomination.
