Committees (September 2024 - August 2025)

Membership Committee (Zoom meeting 9:00 to 9:30 am 2nd Tuesday of every month)
The Membership Committee is responsible for member engagement/retention and new member recruitment/acquisition. This includes contacting members whose terms are expiring to ensure their renewal, obtaining feedback on why they may choose not to renew and finding ways to introduce new members to ACG. Remember, ACG Tampa Bay is a membership approval chapter, and thus the focus is on those that are involved in the middle-market.
