Awarded as INETA Community Champion for Q3 of 2011

I am feeling very glad to announce that, INETA community has been awarded me with their “Annual Community Champion Award” for the Q3 of 2011. It’s a big honor to receive this award from INETA community. I can’t express my excitement to acknowledge this award.

I’m finding that my community work is rewarding me in various ways. It’s definitely a great year for me when I have been awarded by different portals. Over the past 2-3 years, I was connected with so many influential people who helped me to build my career.

Update (19-Oct-2011): My INETA Award has been Withdrawn

Yes, my INETA Community Champion Award has been withdrawn. As per their policies, the Award is limited within US and the selection committee was not aware of my residential address. As I am from India, the INETA Community withdrawn the award. Whoever nominated me for this Award, I am thankful to them for supporting me all the time.
