		Service management and tech support professionals are a community minded bunch. They are a conscientious group eager to learn and grow and also to share with one another to help promote excellence in the industry. And so it is no surprise that this community is also eager to celebrate its champions, those who are the most active in the community and share their insights for the benefit of all. We are proud to celebrate all that these influencers do for our industry with HDI’s Top 25 Thought Leaders in Technical Support and Service Management. 
    The votes are in! The community has spoken! The winners are people who lead by example. They are practitioners and consultants. They blog. They speak at conferences and events. They tweet and share their insights on social media. They mentor us in the finer points of leadership, process improvement, and technology implementation. They provide guidance for the industry to help us all improve service delivery and advance our careers.
    Congratulations to those who made the list for 2018, and a big thank you to the technical support and service management community for weighing in with your votes. Without further ado, I present the Top 25 Thought Leaders in Technical Support and Service Management for 2018:
