Time to celebrate our new Tableau Ambassadors!

Every six months, we look for enthusiastic, community-oriented people to induct as Tableau Ambassadors. And this July was no different.

We have nine new Tableau Ambassadors, three within each branch: the community forums, social media, and user groups.

These are people who have responded to hundreds of community-forum posts and solved other’s problems.

They've actively engaged with the Tableau community on social media, helping foster conversations as thought leaders.

They’ve hosted user groups in their areas and have warmly welcomed new and old Tableau users alike.

In short, the Tableau Ambassadors are role models. They embody the best of the Tableau community.

It is my great honor to introduce to you our newest Tableau Ambassadors.
