 Exhibit 10.61 
 Summary of Compensation for Executive Officers 
 Following is a
description of the compensation arrangements for each of PC Connection, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) executive officers. The Company’s executive officers as of March 10, 2014 consisted of: (i) Timothy McGrath,
President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) Patricia Gallup, Chairman of the Board and Chief Administrative Officer; and (iii) Joseph Driscoll, Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. 

The Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. It also reviews and
approves the compensation of the Company’s other executive officers, based on recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer. In determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers a number of different factors,
including the mix of salary, bonus, and incentive compensation levels. In addition, a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee is responsible for the determination and approval of corporate goals and targets under the Company’s Executive
Bonus Plan. The Compensation Committee seeks to achieve three broad goals in connection with the Company’s compensation philosophy and decisions regarding compensation. First, the Company is committed to providing executive compensation
designed to attract, retain, and motivate executives who contribute to the long-term success of the Company and are capable of leading the Company in achieving its business objectives in the competitive and rapidly changing industry in which the
Company operates. Second, the Company wants to reward executives for the achievement of company-wide business objectives of the Company. By tying compensation in part to achievement, the Company believes that a performance-oriented environment is
created for the Company’s executives. Finally, compensation is intended to provide executives with an equity interest in the Company so as to link a meaningful portion of the compensation of the Company’s executives with the performance of
the Company’s Common Stock. 
 Compensation for the Company’s executives generally consists of three elements:

  

	 	•	 	 salary—levels are generally set by reviewing compensation for competitive positions in the market and considering the executive’s level of
responsibility, qualifications, and experience, as well as the Company’s financial performance and the individual’s performance; 

	 	•	 	 bonus—bonuses are paid out under the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan and are based on the achievement of company-wide net income and expense
leverage goals. Cash bonuses are set as a percentage of the executive officer’s base salary; and 

	 	•	 	 equity awards—equity awards provide long-term incentives to promote and identify long-term interests between the Company’s employees and its
stockholders and to assist in the retention of executives.
