I don’t post much about my job, but this was the nice writeup that my manager sent out to all of IT earlier this week about my new role.
I am pleased to announce that Derek Punaro has been promoted to IT Information Architect, a new job title created for the Sharewaves07 Collaboration Support team. [...]
