Announcing the 2019 THWACK MVP Roster

[#1]

Please join me in congratulating the newest SolarWinds THWACK MVPs! While we are in the congratulatory mood, let’s also applaud the forty-eightnine existing MVPs who renewed their MVP status for this year. Some of the MVPs have been constant community contributors for over seven years!

Over the years, the MVPs have contributed to the general well-being of the community. These generous members have acted as cohorts in the day-to-day grind of IT, acting as moderators in interesting conversation threads, and founts of technical knowledge. Our newest members add their knowledge and prowess to the collective knowledgebase we call “THWACK.” To learn more about the THWACK MVP program and how you can join, click here.

Grab your piñata, light some fireworks, cast about with some colored powder, or do whatever you do to celebrate an occasion!

Thanks,

Kevin M. Sparenberg (KMSigma)
Technical Community Manager
