Special Edition – Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the SAP Mentor Program!


Welcome to the special edition of Community Voice honoring the 10th anniversary of the SAP Mentors Program! SAP Mentors are the community's most active and influential members. As SAP Mentors, these individuals are seen and treated as leaders. Their ability to lead by example shines as brightly as their passion for SAP, and is therefore one of the key pillars in our SAP Mentor Magic Foundation. This year, the SAP Mentors Program Turns 10. To mark that milestone, we're dedicating this edition of the SAP Community Voice Newsletter solely to content from SAP Mentors. We're featuring five areas including the spirit of the SAP Mentors and what they're all about, some favorite technical blogs from the past, current technical blogs and blogs on mentor-led initiatives as well as career-related blogs for up and coming members.

-Jason Cao, SAP Mentor Program Lead
