One of my personal highlights from WPC in Denver was the night Canada hosted our regional Party, it is great to see many partners come together under one single roof from Vancouver to Toronto to Montreal to Halifax, this is one of the few occassions when we get to see the entire country come together and celebrate.

I had the opportunity to give my farewell speech as President of IAMCP Canada and had the unique opportunity to also recognize some truly Outstanding Microsoft colleagues for their Excellence in Partnering, they were as follows: 

 

Microsoft Corporation

Allison Watson, Corporate Vice President

Steve Ballmer, CEO

Marie Huwe, General Manager, WW Partner Group  

Pam Salzer, Senior Director, WW Partner Group

The Partnerhsip with Microsoft works for Partners thanks to the incredible dedication of the thousands of Microsoft employees who truly care about our Partner community and make it their number one Priority to work with Partners.  I am very grateful to the hundreds of people I had the chance to work with over the last five years, it has been an incredible and exhilirating experience from day one.
