We are thrilled to announce the Archer Champion Network! Keep reading to understand what it is, how it will benefit you and what you can do to get engaged.
Why do we need the Archer Champion Network? Today, Archer reaches out to customers that provide product feedback, talk with other customers, speak at events, etc., but we often go to the same people and don’t have an official process for selecting or maintaining a vibrant and balanced group across use cases, industries and markets. We need to build a complete network of GRC Subject Matter Expert (aka Archer Champions) that will become advocates and defenders of Archer, and who we can in turn mentor and help build their GRC presence.
What is the Archer Champion Network? A new, selective group of the most effective Archer advocates that have proven they go above and beyond to help drive Archer deep into their organizations, industry or market. Champions will continue to serve as a critical source for roadmap feedback, will serve on advisory councils, speak at events, co-author blogs and articles, and participate in analyst activities, among other things.
Who can be a Champion? A Champion can be any Archer user, SME, champion, advocate or administrator from customer organizations.
How are Champions selected?
Each person nominates them self by completing this self-nomination form at Apply to be an Archer Champion. An internal Archer Selection Committee reviews the submissions for inclusion as a Champion.
What’s in it for the Archer Champions?
- Exclusivity – Being part of an exclusive Archer Champion Network – think of it as a “platinum” club in Archer circles.
- Engagement – Champions will be pulled into conversations, events, requests and thought leadership, schedules permitting. Without overusing our Champions, we would like them to be consistently engaged with us on various levels to post, speak, volunteer, reach out to others, etc.

- Career Building – With Archer positions growing in the market, this Champion status will be marketable.
Archer Champion Community Site
This space is where the Champions can post their bios, meet other Champions, initiate and respond to discussions, post questions, see Archer activities they can participate in and receive updates from Archer professionals and other Champions. We have given access to this site to certain internal employees because we want the Champions to engage with them online as well.
