Women of Leadership Series

ACG NY Women of Leadership (WOL) was founded in 2008. While embracing and maintaining the principles and goals of ACG and the NY Chapter, WOL specifically focuses on facilitating connections between women leaders in the deal-making community so that they can share experiences, needs, contacts and overall, help one another succeed. The Women of Leadership Series is dedicated to providing female leaders a forum to connect and network. This series is hosted by the ACG NY Women of Leadership Committee.
