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.
As a Champion, Sherry hasn’t stopped giving back to the place that, in her words, has given so much to her.
“I admit, I continue to work on new tasks and will require guidance from time-to-time in Community, especially when finalizing formulas,” she says. “The Unanswered Questions section is the best way to find people to help. The Community is the best.”
- @Sherry Fox , Business Process Analyst + Community Champion (Read more about Sherry in her recent Member Spotlight)

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.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can’t Stop
“My favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, so when I need to be energized, I like to listen to the song ‘Can't Stop’ and my batteries are fully charged! It celebrates the energy of humans, their bonds, and it's a positive message.”
- Florian Zbinden (@florian.zbinden7), Quality Systems Project Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific + Overachiever

More about Max:
Happy 2026 to the best Community I know!
If you are new here or need a refresher about who I am, I’m Max Griffith, a Senior Web Producer at Smartsheet and as I enter the new year I’m working towards my 6th year at Smartsheet. The evolution of my life and this company has been really special. When I started my journey at Smartsheet in 2020 I was newly engaged to my Fiancé Emily, adopted my dog Finn, renting a house in Bellingham, WA, and was doing my best to navigate life during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fast forward to the beginning of 2026, I’m now married to Emily, our dog Finn is turning 7 in June, we moved back to Bellingham, WA from Upstate NY and we bought a house in our dream neighborhood, and are navigating life in our 30’s. Life sure has changed and I’ve loved every single minute. I hope you all have a fun and exciting year ahead!
