Would You Vote for Us? Twice?

BeverlyBrown — Thu, 05 May 2016 20:59:29 GMT

Bragging is so not SAS culture. We tend to let whatever’s good about SAS speak for itself.

That communities re-launch, though. Remember when communities.sas.com got its makeover? Remember all the hoopla around the rollout last September?

The community management team felt so good about it – and your positive reaction – we nominated our efforts for two awards. And we’d sure appreciate your helping winning them.

We submitted two entries with our platform vendor, Lithium, for their 2016 Lithys. Part of the selection process is the peer vote on the Lithium community. What we need is a kudo (aka “like”) on each entry.

How do I vote?

Online voting closes at 5:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, May 10, 2016.
In order to vote (give kudos), you must be logged into the Lithium Community: http://community.lithium.com/ . If you don’t have a login, please take a quick minute to register.
Each registered user can give one kudo (vote) per entry.
Selection of winners will be a two-step process: a combination of the popular peer vote on the Lithium Community and through final selection by the judging panel who will look at the spirit of the story, the results submitted, and evidence to back up the submission.

Entry #1: http://community.lithium.com/t5/Lithys-Digital-Customer/Lithys-2016-SAS-Marketing-Champion-1-of-2-entries/idi-p/217987

Entry #2: http://community.lithium.com/t5/Lithys-Digital-Customer/Lithys-2016-SAS-Marketing-Champion-2-of-2-entries/idi-p/218001

Like what you see? Give us some love! Winners will be announced during Lithium’s LiNC conference on June 9!

LOL My nonna doesn't have an email address!! (although she whips around Skype better than anyone I know, so who knows what she does when no one's looking...she may even have her own webdesgin business ahah)

I'll definitely be sharing the links with my SAS friends and see if i can convince family to vote 😉

Speaking of which, enough procrastinating - I have a blog to write!

If possible, I'd vote multiple times a day! All the best with your entries. The SAS team and communities.sas.com deserve to win!
