Katrina Potts I echo what Brad has says. You are a true Community Manager and I absolutely love working with you. I see big things in 2021 and am excited to be apart of them :)

Marc Aiello, Philip DeSouza With the amazing Michelle Holden being off on leave (who deserves a giant high-five herself), you have both stepped up to the plate in a major way. You are doing an incredible job as Community Managers.  Thank you to all 3 of you - you are incredible! 

Veronica Hayes - Nice one! Always a pleasure to join calls with Marc and Philip!

I have just started working with a brand new Community Manager, Kelley West! Yesterday we jumped on a call together, went through Igloo Customer Care, discussed training options and the path forward. Kelley, it is definitely a big job, and getting ramped up is an even bigger job - I appreciate you and all of the efforts you are making to ensure the digital workplace stays fun and engaging!

Veronica Hayes lots of support out there as you can see Kelley West 

Oh, I simply love this week! (and all of you amazing CMs!)

Catherine Carter - Developer, Workplace Manager, Architect of All Things... you took Igloo and built a rocket ship that splits apart into three rocket ships and still manages to keep everyone alive. Thank you for being such a great partner!

Anna Thompson - You are a beacon of positivity when rustling all manner of farm animal! I simply love collaborating with you. Your efforts have paid big dividends in a short amount of time, and I'm excited to see where we take the barn together! Yeehaw!

Melissa Dignam - You picked up a city that someone else built and you made it your own. You are the very definition of awesome. I have yet to meet some as studious and focused as you when it comes to a digital workplace plan. Way to be a paragon for what this career path can be! 

Frances Gilgunn & George Labrakos -  Working with constraints is always a tough challenge but y'all have shown me that grit and determination always win. Thank you for not only building a secure and safe place for your End Users to work but for also adding color into a world that can sometimes come off as sterile!

Angela Williams - If I could insert a GIF here I so would! We laugh, we cry, we talk strategy, and all the while we do it eating delicious chocolates. You missed your calling and you should actually be training the next wave of Community Managers! 

Jaime Schwartzwald & Meghan Festa - Y'all are powerhouses of the internal and external. Thank you for always pushing the external customers to come first! 

Audrey Anderson - You are a fearless CM and I positively love how you approach things. Never afraid to ask the hard questions and set expectations that will honor your End Users. Keep going and I am so excited to partner with you this year!  

Monika Najdychor  & Rachel Soucie - TIIIIMBER... you two have slain a giant that most Community Managers won't have the pleasure of trying to. You are the dream team when it comes to community and I adore seeing the growth you've set yourselves up for. Never ones to have yogurt on your faces... you plan, prep, and deliver excellence!

Emily Hall - You have an impossible task and yet you crush it each and every day! Few people get to work at the scale that you do and show off as much artistic power. Thank you for showing me how to approach design and how to nurture users!  

To the Community Managers, I might have missed, know that working with you is an absolute pleasure and honestly I am only 3 coffees into the day. I will have many more to add! 

Thank you to all of our customers for being the best. We couldn't do what we do without you!
