It is with tremendous pleasure that we get to announce the first member to be inducted into the 2024 class of the Maven Analytics Hall of Fame.

Congratulations Andrew Hubbard!!

Before we discuss why Andrew was selected to receive this honor, let's quickly review what the Hall of Fame stands for...

1) Maven Hall of Famers are committed to lifelong learning

2) They actively participate in Maven discussions and the broader data community

3) They consistently support and encourage others around them

4) They bring a positive energy to their learning and their work

In short, these are the people that make being a part of Maven such an enjoyable experience for both instructors and the entire student community.

If after reading this you are picturing someone who should be considered, then check out the official call for nominations on LinkedIn and let us know who we should be looking at. You've still got time to cast your nomination. The deadline is December 13th.

So let's talk about what makes Andrew so special and why we've already decided to induct him into the Maven Analytics Hall of Fame.

The first thing you should know about Andrew is that he is DEDICATED to learning. He's one of only a very small number of people to ever earn our 365 day learning streak badge… which means he completed at least one lesson on the Maven Analytics platform for an entire year. Amazing!!

Andrew is also (to my knowledge) the first person to ever complete ALL of our courses and Guided Projects on the Maven Analytics platform - absolutely unreal effort here!

You can see some of his projects and the credentials he's earned on his profile here:

If you're a part of the data community, you've likely seen him around, whether it's participating in our Data Challenges like this one, or being an active participant in our live events like Mavens of Data shows and Open Campus sessions.

Andrew is also constantly giving back to the data community, sharing what he's learned and providing tips to help others follow in his footsteps. If you aren't following Andrew on LinkedIn already, you should be!

Andrew perfectly embodies the values of the Maven Hall of Fame, commitment to lifelong learning, being an active contributor in the data community and supporting others on their journey, and bringing a wonderful attitude that helps lift us all up.

On behalf of everyone at Maven Analytics, Andrew, thank you for everything that you have done to inspire the data community. We're so glad to be part of your journey and for you to be a part of ours. Congratulations!
