While there too many amazing Local Guides to name, one person I want to shout out as an influential member of this community is @EmekaUlor .

Emeka’s commitment to making the world a more inclusive place for people with disabilities constantly inspires me. He’s held accessibility meet-ups, raised awareness about accessibility through posts on Connect, and has added lots of helpful accessibility info on Google Maps. He’s a great example of what it means to be a Local Guide advocate.

Sorry @AriMar can you move this thread from the place where is now to a public area? :slight_smile:

I miss @Gio51x :

He has started so many interesting threads on the LG forum, that do persist. Also, he is very fast, helpful and sharing lots of information.

Many have been named before, I just repeat them:

@ermest for his politeness and correctness.

@OSAMA because he is a big contributor and keeps the spirit of members up.

Just to name a few…

I’d like to mention @brittym because she is an inspiration in many ways. She moved to New York, living on a dream, and left her home in Florida to pursue what she knew to be the opportunity of a lifetime. Working closely with her, I can see her dedication to Local Guides and her drive and passion that goes into anything she does. She takes the time to volunteer at events for the experience and to help others-- plus, she’s a networking-machine! She’s a strong woman and definitely someone worth noting here.

– Happy Birthday B!

@AriMar Thank you for mentioning my contribution work in this post. I am happy to see my own video again. :slight_smile:

For my case the inspiring local guides name list is quite long.

First of all @TraciC @Corrie & other beautiful Googlers whom I met personally during inaugural LG summit in 2016. Since then I got extra inspiration of being a local guide.

Apart from Googlers I must mention my #LGSummit16 & #LGSumiit17 summit friends and LG moderators like @KarenVChin @KimberlyAnnG Ivan, @IlankovanT from Sri Lanka, Paul from Australia , Shirley, @ErmesT , @U-royFelixA , @MahabubMunna from Bangladesh, @LucioV & many more :heart: … Local guides worldwide.

Note: We can @mention only 10 user(s) in a post. So I mentioned only 10 Local guides from my list.

Hello @AriMar it’s a good topic.

In our country @ShafiulB is really a good person and most inspiring Local Guide. I love his determination and working spirit on guiding. He is inspiring other local guides to contribute and develop our virtual maps.

And of course I am also inspired from other country’s local guides like -

@BishowvijayaP @ErmesT @TraciC @KarenVChin @LucioV @DavidTito @IlankovanT @PaulPavlinovich

@KOBAYASHI_Jun inspires me because he helps people find answers to their questions and summarizes them for everyone. He often discusses on Connect how to improve the Maps in Japan. He participates not only on the Japanese board, but also on the other boards in English, where he begins his answers by stating, “I’m sorry. Because I am not good at English, I am using Google translation.” Thank you for helping others!
