I should know. I was one of the judges of this year’s Exceptional DBA of the Year award. I had to read through tons and tons of submissions and help to arrive at a final list of people who truly personify the concept of both the DBA and the exceptional person. They are all worthy of your votes, but you can only pick one. Today is the final day to make your voice heard and get your influence in. Please, let us know who you think the Exceptional DBA of the Year is by clicking on the link, now, and voting.
Am I missing something?
Without having met any of the finalists – let alone worked with them – how can we have any opinion at all? Shouldn’t the award be given by the judging panel, who have more to go on than a hundred words and a photo?
And that’s part of how community voting works. It can turn into a popularity or self-promotion contest. But, some people really like the chance to influence these things.
