Sheldon, you are an unsung hero on the IP/990 team. There is so much that I can say (and have said... fingers crossed!!!) to elevate your contributions as Scrum Master in hopes that you are recognized and given your due. I am inspired by your commitment to all of the 5C's; I think this quality in you has set the bar for our entire team. For those of us lucky enough to have you overseeing our sprints, there is no question that you truly go above and beyond to show our entire team respect and to ensure that everyone has a voice! I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with you, and hope that you know you've benefitted me greatly by the example you set each and every day. The success of our work would not be attainable and accelerating as it has been without you, Sheldon, and I want you to know that we appreciate and recognize you for it!

Want to thank you for taking the time this last year to mentor me in how to be a Scrum Master! I learned a lot from you and am very thankful for the time and knowledge you gave me! You helped me realize my dream, and you also helped me take my first steps in trying to accomplish that dream, and for that I can’t thank you enough. I hope someday I can gain even more knowledge from you! Thank you again for all you have done for me and helping me on my journey!
