ACW Awards Program

Giving Credit Where It’s Due

The Alliance of Channel Women is all about lifting women up, so we take every opportunity to recognize them through our annual awards programs. We want to highlight channel women who consistently exceed expectations – whether that’s carving career paths for others to follow, being supportive colleagues or giving back to the ACW organization.
