ProMatrix Most Valuable Professionals - Life
|
| Certain ProMatrix users have made contributions to the
ProMatrix Community over the years that are so outstanding that they
deserve special recognition. They deserve to be named MVP's for all
time. Therefore, we created a MVP category called "MVP - Life".
Admittance to the MVP - Life category is rare and requires multiple
years of outstanding contributions. We thank all our Life MVP's for the
professionalism and expertise that they bring to the ProMatrix Community. |
ProMatrix Most Valuable Professionals
|
| During 2005, three ProMatrix users' contributions to the
ProMatrix Community earned them the designations of ProMatrix Most
Valuable Professionals for 2006. We thank all of our 2006 MVP's for
the support they offered the ProMatrix Community during 2004.

MVP - Honorable Mention
|
| There are other ProMatrix users whose contributions to
the ProMatrix Community are substantial and deserving of recognition.
Therefore, we created the "MVP - Honorable Mention" category to
recognize such users. This year no ProMatrix users were designated
Honorable Mention MVP's. |

designated in March 2000. This was the first and only time so far, that
MVP titles were designated mid-term. While working at Cebes Frank trained
himself in several Microsoft-related subjects, resulting in the Microsoft
MCP, MCSD, MCDBA, MCSE and MCSA certifications and the COMPTIA A+,
Network+, Server+ and I-Net+ certifications. (Can be improved in the
