Alliance of Channel Women (ACW), a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of female channel leaders in technology, named board member Ashley Cole (senior channel sales manager, Fusion Connect)as treasurer and officer for the association. She will also chair the newly formed finance committee.

Cole was elected to the ACW’s board in 2023. She 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, 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.”

ACW is seeking members to serve on the new committee. Cole encourages volunteers of all skill levels who have a basic understanding of finance and budgeting. If interested, please email billing@allianceofchannelwomen.org.

Cole succeeds Lori Graber (director of billing and order management, Telesystem).

“Lori’s leadership, data-driven mindset and management have ensured ACW’s financial stability during her tenure and laid a solid foundation for our continued progress,” said Rosales-Peterson. “As we look ahead, we’re committed to building on Lori’s efforts and thank her for her contributions to ACW’s success.”
