Congratulations to this years Connect Worldwide Award Winners

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Each year Connect Worldwide recognizes an outstanding volunteer and an individual or group within HPE that goes above and beyond to support Connect with their time and talents. The Connect board of directors reviews the nominations and selects the winners. Due to the number of outstanding Connect volunteers who help support and grow the Connect global community, it has increasingly difficult to choose just one winner from each category. We extend a special thank you to this year’s winners and all of our engaged volunteers.
