The Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award recognizes exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who voluntarily share their deep, real-world knowledge about Microsoft technologies with others.
 
Potential MVPs are nominated by other technical community members, current and former MVPs and Microsoft personnel who have noted their leadership and their willingness and ability to help others make the most of their Microsoft technology. MVPs are independent of Microsoft, with separate opinions and perspectives, and are able to represent the views of the community members with whom they engage every day.
