🏆 AWS HEROES — A Program You Should Know About

Heard of AWS Heroes? They're a global group of cloud experts who share knowledge through blogs, open source, videos, conferences, and community events. Founded in 2014.

Here's the cool part: You can't apply to be a Hero (AWS nominates them internally), but there are similar programs worth your attention:

📌 AWS Community Builder
→ Application-based, 1-year renewable term

📌 AWS User Group Leader (That's Us!)

📌 AWS Student Builder Groups
