All of the new and returning vExperts have demonstrated significant contributions to the community and a willingness to share their stories & expertise with others.

If you were awarded vExpert, you should now have the acceptance email in your inbox which will explain next steps. Please hold tight and expect another email from us soon.
If you weren’t awarded, we understand that this decision can be disappointing. However, we are here to support your efforts and want to help you improve your efforts and you next application. We have built the appeal process to help you build your case. If you want to dive into what to include and exclude in your appeal, read the vExpert Best Practice Guide.
The vExpert Best Practice Guide provides valuable information on appeals, how to apply, what criteria we are looking for, what to avoid including in your application, and explains the significance of the new “Pending” status.
Take this as an opportunity to enhance your involvement with the community and engage more actively. You can also seek assistance from a vExpert PRO in your region, who can guide you through the application process for the next opportunity in December for the 2024 program.
Remember, persistence and continuous improvement can make a difference, and we hope to see your application again.
