![crn1](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/crn1.png)We are very excited to announce that [Ron Myers](http://www.crn.com/channel-chiefs/cc2017-details.htm?c=324&wc=4) and [Todd Palmer](http://www.crn.com/channel-chiefs/cc2017-details.htm?c=325&wc=4) have again been recognized by CRN on its esteemed [Channel Chiefs list](http://www.crn.com/channel-chiefs/cc2017.htm). The executives on this annual list represent top leaders in the IT channel who excel at driving growth and revenue in their organizations through channel partners.

For the second consecutive year, we are also happy to share that Ron was named to CRN's exclusive 2017 list of the [50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs](http://www.crn.com/slide-shows/storage/300083793/2017-channel-chiefs-the-50-most-influential.htm/pgno/0/35). As noted by CRN:

> *The executives on this annual list are part of an elite group drawn from the larger pool of Channel Chief honorees each year and represent the cream of the IT channel crop---leaders who drive the channel agenda and evangelize the importance of channel partnerships. This distinguished group is recognized for outstanding achievement in driving growth and revenue in their organizations, as well as extraordinary leadership in the channel as a whole.*
