Pass the mic 🎤 Community Champions
Community Champions are members who demonstrate product expertise and generosity in sharing best practices and support with others on the platform.
“I really love the core platform. It’s extensive and robust by itself, and the more you know how to use it, the more remarkable it becomes. I appreciate how other tools like Control Center, Data Mesh, and Dynamic View solve the inevitable challenges with operating at scale, but they have to rely on a solid foundation.”
- @SoS | Dan Palenchar, founder and CEO of School of Sheets Solutions Consulting, a Smartsheet Aligned Solutions Partner and Community Champion

Overachiever's Motivation Mix
The Smartsheet Overachievers are here to give you the songs that will keep you going and keep you achieving! Here’s what’s on the playlist right now.
Ben Rector - Golden Days
“This song resonates with me as a Smartsheet Overachiever Alum because it reminds me why I build all of my Smartsheet systems: To make room for what really matters. The lyrics capture how quickly meaningful moments pass and how important it is to be present, which is exactly what drives me to automate and simplify. It’s not just about efficiency; it’s about preserving energy for relationships, reflection, and legacy. This song reminds me that the work I do today shapes the golden days I’ll one day miss.”
- @Rebecca Wilhelm , Senior Project Manager at DePaul University + Overachievers Alum

More about Georgie:
Recently, I’ve been making the most of the British sunshine! I’ve been on a new zip wire over a lake which wasn’t half as scary as I expected (yes, I wanted to get back on for another go right afterwards!), and I’ve been to London several times to watch live tennis!
I’ve been lucky enough to get tickets for Wimbledon over the last few years, and always have such a great time there whatever court I’ve got seats for - this year was no exception! I took my partner and we had tickets for Court 2. It was the first time we’d been to Court 2 and it was so wonderfully small and intimate - we were literally 2 rows away from the action, so had an amazing view!
We of course spent plenty of time on “the hill” (aka Henman Hill / Murray Mount / Draper Dune? / Raducanu Ramp?) watching the big screens as well as taking time to watch Sonay Kartal on Court 3. Keeping everything crossed we’ll get to go again next year!
I have also been (and continue to be!) on the emotional rollercoaster of selling and buying houses - hopefully I’ll have a full update on that next time it’s my turn for the newsletter!
