    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Team,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I came across the Partner Champions Program information (&lt;A href="https://partners.databricks.com/s/databricks-partner-champions-program" target="_blank"&gt;Databricks Partner Champions Program&lt;/A&gt;) and wanted to check if this program is still applicable under the 2026 Partner Program changes that has happened recently.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Specifically, I would like to understand:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- whether the program is still active in its current form&lt;BR /&gt;- if there are any changes to eligibility criteria or nomination process&lt;BR /&gt;- whether Registered/Bronze partners can still participate&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any updated documentation or insights would be helpful.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/135943"&gt;@vamsi_simbus&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For the most accurate and up-to-date details, I’d recommend reaching out to your Partner Account Manager or contacting &lt;A href="mailto:partnerops@databricks.com" target="_self"&gt;partnerops@databricks.com&lt;/A&gt;. They’ll be able to confirm the current status, eligibility, and any recent changes to the program.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
