During the 2019 InterGrowth^® meeting in Florida, Angenita Pex ACG Holland member and previous ACG Holland President, was one of seven ACG members to receive the ACG Meritorious Service Award. This annual award recognizes ACG members who contribute to the long-term success of the organization through extraordinary volunteer service and achievement. The awardees are nominated by their peers, and the prestigious award is given to those committed to organizational visibility, loyalty and growth. 

“We’re grateful to all of the award winners, from this year and past years,” said Angela MacPhee, chair, ACG Global Board of Directors, and partner, Baker Tilly. “ACG’s Meritorious Service Award acknowledges members who go above and beyond. These are members who generously give of themselves without wanting praise. They prioritize the needs of the organization and they deserve a moment in the spotlight.”

MacPhee presented the Lifetime Achievement Award May 7, 2019, during ACG’s annual InterGrowth meeting held at the Waldorf Astoria & Hilton Bonnet Creek in Orlando, Florida.
