SHARE Recognizes
Volunteer Spotlight - Atlanta 2016
Cheryl Watson Ed Petka |
Cheryl Watson & Ed Petka Two-score and six months ago, IBM STG moved its requirements At The discussion and proof-of-concept phases involved numerous participants from SHARE volunteers, to IBM, to Smithbucklin staff, and even members of the SHARE Board of Directors -- all of whom played important roles. But, the volunteer contributions of Cheryl Watson (Watson & Walker) and Ed Petka (Fiserv), as well as Smithbucklin staff-member Meredith Halperin, cannot be overstated. They were the heart and soul of this project; the folks in the trenches with their sleeves rolled up, doing the hard work and meeting every week to ensure things got done. And, things got done. Revitalizing the SHARE requirements process and keeping it viable have been among my top priorities as a SHARE Manager. It is with great pride that I use this forum to thank Cheryl, Ed, Meredith, and everyone else who participated, for their efforts in getting this important area of SHARE's industry influence back on track. > [Written |
