HARRISBURG, Pa., May 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- D&H Distributing, a major provider of SMB and consumer technologies to the North American high-tech channel, is proud to announce that five of its team members have been named to this year’s prestigious CRN Women of the Channel list. Vice President of Marketing Jenn Walcott and Executive Director - Vendor Management Tina Fisher were named to the 2020 Women of the Channel “Power 100” List, an exclusive subset of the main CRN designation, for the second year in a row. D&H congratulates three additional honorees who have been added to the ranks of the list this year: Senior Director of Marketing Communications and Creative Shannon Sholtis, Senior Director of Marketing Aretha Hooks, and VAR Field Sales Manager Sara Gormally.

Each of these women has been instrumental in launching offerings such as the D&H THREADcast event, and recent virtual engagement panels that provided a lightning-fast response to COVID-19 to help support both partners and manufacturers moving toward recovery. This is in addition to developing ongoing vendor initiatives ranging from cloud-related programs to increased focuses on ProAV, Esports, and the K-12 marketplace.

Honorees are selected by the CRN editorial team from an extensive pool of channel leaders “based on their exceptional achievements, expertise, and commitment to supporting IT channel success,” according to a statement from CRN’s publisher, The Channel Company. The Women of the Channel feature provides recognition to “extraordinary women who exhibit thought leadership, channel expertise, and innovative vision for driving channel growth,” as per that announcement. The roster is considered an authoritative guide to information technology’s most influential female leaders.
