Guiding Principles for the AP PAC Delegates
With your help we intend to make this a successful event for all participants. Below are some of our ideas on how to you successfully participate:
- Ask difficult questions
- What are your customers saying?

- What are your successes?
- How can Microsoft be a better partner?
- If you had to do two things with Microsoft what will it be?
