Annual ACE Program Review
Please fill in your activities by May 31st here if you want to be reviewed to receive the Oracle ACE award for the next review period.

An email with details about the upcoming annual review was sent to all ACE program members in March. All ACE program members who joined on or before February 29, 2020 will be reviewed. Please be sure that all activities completed on or after June 1, 2019 are reported in the Groundbreakers App: https://apex.oracle.com/go/ogb_activity

Note that we review your entries and adjust points as necessary. When points are changed we will post  an explanation in the comments section. To see if we have changed the number of points awarded, go to https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/oracle_ace/r/aceevals/

All Associates who joined on or before February 29, 2020 are automatically reviewed for promotion to the Oracle ACE level. We review your contributions (including but not limited to number of contributions, depth of content, focus on Oracle products), and take into consideration if you are active in at least two channels. Therefore, you do not need to email us to request a review for a promotion. Please see the earlier email for more review information.
Oracle ACE Email Distribution Lists
The ACE email lists are a great way to connect with your peers. For example, do you have a tech question for your fellow Oracle ACEs, or you are organizing a virtual event and you are looking for speakers? If so, you can email your ACE peers via the following email addresses:

Oracle_ACE_Director@beehiveonline.oracle.com 
Oracle_ACE@beehiveonline.oracle.com Oracle_ACE_Associates@beehiveonline.oracle.com

Note: you can only email peers in your same level. For example,  only Associates can email Oracle_ACE_Associates@beehiveonline.oracle.com.
Congratulations New ACEs!
