[djackson]

July Highlights

July Spotlights

Kona Jones (@kona), Greg Beyrer (@ProfessorBeyrer), and Beth Crook (@BethCrook) exemplify the true spirit of Advocates and long-time Community members. Their collaborative and growth mindsets drive them to constantly seek ways to support other Instructure customers, regardless of whether they are new adopters or have used the learning platform for over 10 years. Kona’s, Greg’s, and Beth’s recognition of the power of networking and peer collaboration contribute significantly to the strength of the Instructure Community. Notably, during the recent InstructureCon in Denver, they played instrumental roles in hosting over 130 participants at the Unconference, by facilitating a customer-led event that fostered open conversations and the sharing of best practices. Their dedication and passion make them invaluable assets to the Instructure Community.
