I took over a fledging DC chapter on the verge of collapse. Within my tenure I recruited and created an Executive Board, the chapter held 6+ events a year consistently for 5 years, became to the fourth largest chapter nationwide, hosted the first IAMCP business development conference, raised over $6,000 for charity, became a national charter member and is the host chapter for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference 2010. None of this would be possible without the help of an amazing group of Executive Board Volunteers and community champions at Microsoft.
