Let's celebrate
First: have you taken the Product Excellence Survey? If not, take it today - and please share with your colleagues.
Second: as we head into the holiday break, I'm inviting you to join me in a pre-celebration.
Today we are officially recognizing the 55 members of our Advisory Board committees. These amazing product leaders strengthen the product ecosystem with their insights and talents. Some of the ways they do that:
Shaping our coveted annual awards programs, including scoping categories, sorting thousands of nominations, and choosing winners for the CPO Awards, the Product Awards, and the PM Awards
Leading our Award-winning podcast, Product Talk, listened to by millions, including sourcing and hosting incredible product leader guests from top organizations around the world
Identifying and introducing startup founders to the top venture firm in the Bay Area focused on early-stage companies (Mighty Capital)
The list, with names from S&P Global, NASA, Bank of America, and many more, speaks for itself. I have shared it here in full. Read more about them at the press release link below. Now join me in raising a glass to these 55 amazing Advisory Board members. They are the toast of our organization.
Happy holidays 🥂
