I have been selected as a Microsoft Regional Director for the year 2004. The program has a group of some of the smartest industry minds today, and I am honored to be a part of it.
From the Microsoft Regional Director website:
Regional Directors aren't Microsoft employees--they're independent developers, architects, trainers, and other professionals who provide a vital link between Microsoft and the developer community.
Clemens Vasters, a fellow RD and a good friend, has a nice post outlining what it means to be an RD.
