Marcus French was named Socket's You-Make-the-Difference-Award winner for November.

Marcus first applied to Socket in 2005, where he started as a tech support agent. He’s since worked his way up through the ranks (and picked up a few awards along the way, like his 2008 Socketeer of the Year trophy!).

Congratulations to John McCrady, Business Center Analyst, for being named the September recipient of Socket’s You-Make-The-Difference award!

This is John’s second time winning the award, and in less than a year, no less – his last win was in November 2014. His fellow (and new) techs still have plenty of reasons to nominate him.

Four of our team members traveled out to Denver this week for the OSP Expo. They’ll be meeting with other information and communications technology vendors, as well as learning about the latest developments and best practices in the telecom industry.

Over 70 providers, from more than 30 countries, are expected to have representatives in attendance at the expo this year. It’s a great opportunity to learn about some of the challenges facing telecom providers internationally, as well as unique perspectives from other regional ISPs similar to Socket.
