NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, today announced that Vice President of Marketing Ashley Flaska has been named a 2010 Channel Chief by CRN Magazine, the flagship publication of United Business Media.  CRN recognizes the top Channel Chiefs in the industry based upon their records of business innovation and dedication to the partner community.

She also has spearheaded creation of the Partner Net extranet site, which offers distributors and resellers incentives to help increase their revenue and profitability.

CRN selects top Channel Chiefs based on policy and program innovations made during the previous year, the amount of revenue their companies generate through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.
