MVP Code of Conduct

Hello MVPs,

Congratulations again to all our newly awarded and renewing Most Valued Professionals! 

We are so honored to have you as Microsoft MVPs and truly look forward to your continued innovation, leadership, and support of our technical communities.  We also wanted to take this opportunity to provide a friendly reminder about the importance of our Code of Conduct. As well as resources on how we can all continue to support this amazing community.

Microsoft is committed to creating a safe environment for all employees and community members. We strongly believe in the importance of diversity and inclusion within the Microsoft MVP program. As a company and program, we take reports of harassment and conduct violations very seriously. There are reporting mechanisms in place to provide our MVPs and the broader community with the help needed in threatening, harassing, or otherwise unsafe circumstances.  We strictly enforce the standards within our Code of Conduct and investigate all allegations raised.   

To report any concerning or violating behavior you, or anyone else in the community, encounter on or offline, please contact your Community Program Manager (CPM) immediately. You may also use the MVP Global Support Tool to submit any issues in need off attention.  Additionally, should you feel more comfortable, you may also raise an anonymous concern via the Microsoft Runs on Trust website.

As a community, it is important that everyone help in upholding and exemplifying our values:

  • Treat everyone with respect.
  • Lead with integrity.
  • Hold yourself and others accountable.

This is our community, and each one of us has a responsibility in making it better every day. Thank you for the positive and invaluable impact that you, Microsoft MVPs, contribute to our technical communities all year round. It is truly remarkable!

Best Regards,

Kerry Herger
