LinkedIn as a thank-you note to all of my friends, colleagues and supporters for casting their vote for me for the FedScoop 2015 Digital Innovation Award. It was also intended as a consolation for my fellow nominees for this award:
Earlier today, I attended the FedScoop 2015 Digital Innovation Summit among many participants from both the public and private sectors in the overcrowded Knight Studio of the Newseum at the nation’s capital. It was a great event despite the oversold theater seats … ;-)
Congratulations to my fellow nominee Deborah Diaz, CTO from NASA, as the winner of this year’s Digital Innovation Award! Also, my kudos to all other fellow nominees for this year’s award! I am very proud to be in company with a great crowd of many of the most innovative men and women in the public and private sectors.
Naturally it was a great honor for me to be nominated for this year’s award. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciations to all of my colleagues, friends, and supporters at both sides of the Atlantic for your strong support and your time to cast your vote for me for this year’s digital innovation award! Your genuine kindness, friendship, and support for me and for a strong voice for IPv6 is invaluable beyond words!
Later this afternoon, a wise man at work (who is actually my boss' boss) told me half-jokingly, that I am actually in good company with many famous men and women as the nominees who have not yet won the award, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Glenn Close… Obviously, he was talking about the Academy Award! For me, that would be another life to be in that category... LOL
Nonetheless, this kindly joke can be used as a consolation, which I would like to share with the rest of my fellow nominees who have not yet won the award:
Cheers, you are in good company! LOL
