In addition, ACW has formed a Finance Committee, of which Cole will serve as chair.
Cole was elected to the ACW Board of Directors in 2023. She also served two years as the group’s Events Committee Chair, responsible for planning the twice-annual ACWConnect Live! in-person membership events.
“Ashley’s invaluable contributions have significantly propelled the success of our ACWConnect Live! events, thanks to her keen attention to detail, exceptional leadership qualities and readiness to take charge when necessary,” said ACW President Mayka Rosales-Peterson, Senior Manager of Partner Marketing for Intelisys. “As she transitions into her new role as Treasurer, I’m confident that Ashley will use her skills to keep ACW financially healthy and thriving.”
ACW’s new Finance Committee will support Cole in executing her responsibilities as Treasurer to maintain ACW’s financial health.
“This newly formed team will play a pivotal role in fostering collaboration with various ACW committees, acting as a liaison to optimize the funding process across the organization,” said Rosales-Peterson. “By facilitating communication, the Finance Committee aims to elevate ACW’s financial stewardship.”
