Why ACW Membership Matters to Channel Women

“I’ve been able to push myself outside my comfort zone in a setting that I’ve found very inviting and encouraging. I’ve been able to expand my professional network to include some of the most amazing ladies I’ve had the privilege of meeting and learning their stories.”

–Lori Graber, Telesystem

“What I have loved about being a member of ACW is community. During Covid especially we have felt a lack of community in the workplace. ACW has filled that void for me. That sense of community has been invaluable to me! Ladies, join me in the journey!”

–Lisa Miller, Spearhead Advisors

“Through ACW, I have found a group of driven and fun women, at all points of their careers, to lean on for mentorship and advice, career opportunities, professional development, and to just unwind over a glass of wine at an industry event.”

–MeiLee Langley, Nextiva

“Contributing to the volunteer-led ACW organization has been the single best investment I’ve made in myself. … With the help of all the members of ACW, we can continue to create a space for women to advance their careers and take on leadership roles at the highest levels in the technology channel.”

–Morgan Granfield, Digital Realty

“Alliance of Channel Women has taken my networking to an entirely new level. When I joined in 2013, I found the caliber of women I connected with very empowering. This absolutely accelerated my growth professionally and personally; there is so much possibility here.“

–Su Beler, Technology Source
