Awards and Conference Highlights

Kimberly named a Microsoft Regional Director for the 2004-2006 RD Timeframe
Being an RD is really an exciting way of staying current on various technologies and creating a great world-wide team. RD's are not Microsoft employees - they're independant speakers, writers, consultants and trainers who are immersed in .NET-related technologies. There are 140 RDs worldwide and you can get information about all of the RDs and how the RD program works from the primary Microsoft RD site.
