Avangate's involvement in industry events, such as the Software Industry Conference, the European Software Conference, the Independent Software Developers Forum and the commitment to providing quality knowledge and free access to business resources & tools to ISV professionals received the greatest recognition through Adriana's election on the ASP Board of Directors.

"It is a great honor to be one of the six members of the Board of Directors of such a major software association. My personal belief is that every company should be involved in their industry by exchanging information and playing their role in creating communities. Serving on the ASP Board of Directors will be a good way to do our part. I also look forward to working on attracting new members and making sure that existing ones are offered valuable resources on the ASP website and newsgroups. Equally, I would be happy to propose new projects to offer even more tools and promotion opportunities for the ASP members." mentioned Adriana Iordan.

"As President of the ASP I am really pleased with the members electing Adriana Iordan to the Board of Directors. In the past year Adriana has served as Marketing Director to the organization and the benefits to the ASP have been tremendous. The members thought so much of Adriana's abilities that she was by far the number one vote-getter in this election" said Mike Dulin, President of the ASP.

The ASP Board of Directors is comprised of industry leaders who are devoted to promoting the understanding of the “try before you buy” software industry and sharing of information to and between a growing member base.
