Inspiring Channel Leaders
ACW’s North Star is helping women advance their channel careers and take on leadership roles.

The program is ideal for ACW members who are:

The ACW ACE Leadership Program brings women together in peer-group discussions to learn from each other and grow as channel professionals and leaders. Classes include:

ACE is facilitated by women, for women — we’ve walked in your shoes and understand your challenges and ambitions.
Choose from Three Tracks (or Take All Three!)
The ACW ACE Leadership Program has been a huge success, with hundreds of graduates and counting. Based on feedback and popular demand, in 2022, we’ve expanded the program to include three complementary tracks. These courses focus on developing personal leadership skills, organizational leadership skills and channel leadership skills, respectively. The sessions build on each other but can be taken independently as well.
