Good Things Happen When Smart People Share (and Care): Celebrating the 2026 TAP Community Award Winners

Good Things Happen When Smart People Share (and Care): Announcing the Winners of the Eighth Annual TAP Community Award Winners

The Eighth Annual TAP Community Awards were a wonderful opportunity to pause and recognize the members who make the TAP (The Admin Portal) community so valuable. This year's gathering brought together peers, partners, and colleagues to celebrate the people whose knowledge, generosity, and dedication keep this community thriving.

Every winner was nominated and voted on by their fellow TAP members - the people who see their contributions day in and day out. That peer-driven recognition is what makes these awards meaningful. These are the folks who show up, share what they know, and make the community better.
