Alliance of Channel Women has announced its Board of Directors for 2026–27, naming new officers to guide the not-for-profit organisation as it continues its mission to support women leaders across the telecom and IT channel.

The group confirmed that four new members have been elected to the board, each set to serve a two-year term beginning in January 2026. In total, the new board will comprise 11 members, with several leadership roles now assigned.

Mel Kolinski, Senior Director of Sales & Partnerships for Ostra Cybersecurity, has been appointed President. Kolinski joined the board in 2025 and previously chaired ACW’s Local Chapters Committee, having also served as Co-Chair of the ACW Events Committee and Co-Moderator for the ACW Local Chapter in Minnesota.

Staci Corbett, Director, Channel Marketing at Fusion Connect, has been named Vice President. Corbett joined the board in 2024 and has chaired ACW’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee.

Sommer Figone, Director, Field Enablement at RapidScale, will remain in her position as Secretary. She has been on the board since 2024 and has also chaired the ACW Events Committee. The organisation said the Treasurer will be announced at a later date.

“This board represents the strength, diversity and momentum of the ACW community,” said incoming ACW President Kolinski, “Each of these leaders brings a deep commitment to advancing women in the channel, and I’m excited to work together as we build on ACW’s legacy and continue expanding our impact.”

“We’re incredibly grateful to ACW’s outgoing board members for their dedication and leadership,” said incoming ACW Vice President Corbett. “Their service helped shape the organization ACW is today, and their contributions will continue to influence ACW’s mission and community for years to come.”

ACW highlighted that its model of rotating leadership is intended to create space for new perspectives while giving more members the opportunity to contribute at board level.
