As we get into the Holiday season, the Maven team is looking back on an amazing 2022 and thinking about how lucky we are to get to work with such an impressive group of students.

Our team is grateful for everything you do for Maven and the broader data community.

To show our appreciation, we're planning to honor another group of community standouts, and induct them into the Maven Analytics Hall of Fame.

I've said this before, but this is a VERY exclusive honor! We've inducted 10 people total to date, so honorees are in rare air.

Think of this as getting your number retired or your jersey hoisted into the rafters. Except this is Maven, so it's more like retiring your spreadsheet, dashboard, or SQL editor :)

The students honored will represent the qualities that we most value in our students and in the broader data community:

1) Maven Hall of Famers are committed to lifelong learning

2) They actively participate in Maven discussions and the broader data community

3) They consistently support and encourage others around them

4) They bring a positive energy to their learning and their work

In short, these are the people that make being a part of Maven such an enjoyable experience for both instructors and the entire student community.

After reading this, you're likely thinking of a few names that fit the profile.

We're hoping that you do :)

From now through Saturday, December 31st at 11:59 EST, we'll be taking nominations for the Class of 2022.

To cast your nomination, navigate to the official announcement post on LinkedIn, which you can see below, @mention a person you deserves a nomination, and include a brief note describing why you think they should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. You can see an example nomination here below the post.

Voting will take place among Maven's instructor team mid-January, and we'll officially announce the 2022 class the last week of January.
