NPA Honors Individuals for Excellence in the Networking Industry

LAS VEGAS – May 8, 2002 – NPA began a new program to honor the deserving IT professional called the
Awards for Professionalism

“In inaugurating this event, the NPA asked the networking industry to recognize and promote the excellence within it, and the industry has responded with winners,” said Chris Setz, president, NPA Advisory Board. “It is appropriate that the professional body for networking provide the framework for these winners to set ethical and professional standards. It is in the nature of our industry that future winners will continue to raise those standards.”

Today the Network Professional Association continues its annual Awards for Professionalism to acknowledge outstanding achievements in the field of networking administration.

The Network Professional Association® (NPA) proudly honors IT workers for their commitment to the ideals of the NPA. Candidacy is open to all networking professionals worldwide. Winners selected best exhibit a commitment to technical proficiency, ethical business practices, credential advancement, and ongoing achievement.

Recognizing accomplishment is a true emotional reward. When done as public recognition, our peers, supporters, and employers can share in the enjoyment. For fifteen years the Network Professional Association and industry partners have recognized IT professionals for their contributions. The Awards for Professionalism continues as a web celebration. Winners will be presented and have the opportunity to provide perspectives on their contributions. Additionally, a number of individuals will be recognized for being the silent and strong types, providing quality, professional IT services without advertisement.
