ORANGE, Calif., July 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Alliance of Channel Women, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of female channel leaders in technology, announced today a call for nominations for the 2020 ACW LEAD Awards, an initiative that recognizes exceptional women in the channel. The organization is accepting nominations for the ACW LEAD Awards now through August 7, 2020.
In its fourth year, the ACW LEAD Award is presented annually to celebrate women who are courageous, creative, collaborative, connected and confident in advancing channel careers. It also seeks to inspire other channel women to follow their lead.
Winners of the award will be honored at a ceremony during the Alliance of Channel Women ACWConnect Live! Networking Event, from 5-8 p.m., September 8, during Channel Partners Virtual 2020. (NOTE: Nominees must be present to win the award.)
"ACW created the LEAD Awards to honor women in the channel who are stand-out leaders," said Michelle Kadlacek, Chair of the ACW Awards Committee and Vice President, Enterprise Channel Partner Program for Spectrum Enterprise. "In the past four years, we've recognized nearly a dozen women of various experience – from business owners and channel chiefs to channel managers and partner support executives. They all have one thing in common – a willingness to step up and lead. We're looking forward to discovering more exceptional female channel leaders in 2020."
Nominations will be accepted through August 7, 2020, via an online application at https://allianceofchannelwomen.org/2020-lead-nomination-form.
