In her new memoir, “A Channel for Change: How the Alliance of Channel Women (ACW) Took Root,” technology leader, author and advocate Nancy Ridge tells the story of how a grassroots initiative became a national force for women in the technology channel.
Blending personal experience with broader insight into gender equity in technology, Ridge charts the rise of ACW, paralleling her own journey as a woman navigating leadership in the technology channel. The book explores the nonprofit’s evolution, with the global movement for women’s advancement in technology. In particular, she offers readers moments of recognition and motivation. Through candid storytelling and contributions from collaborators, Ridge shares inspiration, practical wisdom and a roadmap for women navigating professional and personal challenges. The result is an inspiring, fast-paced read packed with practical lessons, hard-won wisdom and a call to action for women professionals at every stage of their careers.
“Each chapter unfolds in such a way that when a lesson emerged, I felt like it was just for me,” said Cheryl O’Donoghue, the founder of Aspire2STEAM, a nonprofit that provides scholarships to underserved women pursuing careers in STEAM. “Yet the beauty of this book is that each reader will walk away with their own personal moments of discovery thanks to the author and her bevy of ACW collaborators — a wise and wondrous group, indeed.”
“A Channel for Change: How the Alliance of Channel Women Took Root” is available now on Amazon.
