Microsoft Project could be considered just another software program. What sets it apart, however, is those individuals who are willing to stand out and take the time to share what they've learned with others. As MPUG community leaders prove every day, those project management professionals turn what could be just another product into a vibrant user community.
For that reason, MPUG is proud to present the second annual MPUG Community Leader Awards (MCLA). Presented during the upcoming Microsoft Project Conference 2012 March 19-22, 2012, MCLA will recognize and honor the work and dedication of a number of individuals and organizations that have contributed generously to the MPUG community.
We encourage you to participate with your nominations and feedback for the following awards:
MCLA Leader Award
This award is presented to those MPUG members who have helped other members achieve their goals with Microsoft Project either in chapter event participation, web events, discussion forum participation, or other activities. We’ll be selecting a number of winners directly from the MPUG discussion forums and the rest will be via community nomination.

MCLA Training Award
This award is presented to exceptional instructors -- people who have given presentations either in person or online through LiveMeeting to help members of the MPUG community advance their knowledge of products and practices. This award is judged based primarily -- but not solely -- on the results of post-event online survey responses.
MCLA Chapter Leader Award
This award is presented to individuals who have shown exceptional leadership in helping to run an MPUG chapter or contributing overall to the development and growth of MPUG as an internationally recognized organization. This award is based primarily -- but not solely -- on MPUG meeting attendance and ratings of event quality through post-event surveys.
Award for the Most Compelling Events
This award recognizes the innovators who develop amazing local events and meet-ups. All events made public and that take place between January 1, 2010 and March 1, 2012 are open for consideration of this award. Categories of recognition include:
- Most Creative Events
- Best Attended Events
- Best Received Events (as gauged by attendee feedback)
- Most Consistent Events
The winners of this Award Category will be chosen through the results of attendee feedback and by an impartial jury of MPUG members and leaders.
