The deadlines to participate in two of our key channel projects of the year are being held open a couple more days, but the time to get in is now!

Fast Growth identifies those VAR and solution provider businesses that are bucking the economy and scoring strong year-over-year growth. The application is at http://www.crn.com/fastgrowthform.

Women In The Channel recognizes leading women executives at solution provider, distribution and vendor companies. Apply at http://www.crn.com/mpw_form.

Both applications are free, and could result in beaucoup bragging (and marketing) opportunities for you and your organization. But they both close this week -- don't say I didn't warn you.
