"Sandler Partners recognized provider Channel Managers as top award recipients who are in elite company," stated Managing Partner Alan Sandler. "It's one thing to be available when things are easy and going well. But our award recipients rose to the top because of their courage and responsiveness. It was the same message over and over from our voting panel. The winning provider Channel Managers were the ones with the courage to set expectations upfront. They were brave enough to advocate for Partners and customers, even if it meant pushing against the status quo. And they have raised the industry bar for responsiveness to Partners and clients.
"Our award-winning providers, who are in a very tough competition, also shared common themes. They aren't satisfied with the way it's always been done. Instead, they are true partners and demonstrate tremendous channel leadership. They have spent time listening to feedback and actually moved to implement changes that benefit everyone in the ecosystem. They are deserving champions, and we appreciate our partnership!"
Sandler Partners' designated charity, the Surfrider Foundation, hosted an informational exhibit to help attendees learn about the Surfrider mission of protecting the world's oceans and how to become involved personally and through donations. A raffle for a surfboard was held, with Sander Partners matching donations.
