Agent Alliance Elects New Board

Comtel’s Ben Humphreys is the new alliance chairman.

At its March 4 meeting, concurrent with the Channel Partners Conference & Expo, the group elected Ben Humphreys, president and CEO of Comtel Communications, as its president. Daryl Heller, president and CEO of Premier Companies LLC, will serve as vice president, and Jim Butler, president of TeleCHOICE, will be secretary/treasurer.

Members also decided to expand the alliance’s executive committee – a move that required a change in the bylaws, which was approved in April, delaying the election announcement. The executive committee has responsibility for day-to-day operations for the Agent Alliance. In addition to the newly elected officers, members of the expanded executive committee include Brad Miehl, CEO, MicroCorp; Bill Power, president, ARG; Mark Koon, CEO, ABS Telecom; Dan Bommer, president, PartnerTEL; and Ernie Kelly, who is the alliance’s executive director.

Members will hold these posts until the group’s annual meeting in spring 2008.
