Tom Bohn, CAE, MBA

Thomas Bohn, CAE, MBA starts with the end game.  He envisions what he wants to accomplish and then finds the means to attain it.

Tom joined ACG in December 2019, after overseeing unprecedented growth at the North American Veterinary Community (NAVC). At NAVC, Tom fostered operational change and organizational growth by bolstering staff resources and revenue returns. Within six years, he grew revenue from $11 million to $26 million.

Born in Queens, New York, Tom’s no-nonsense nature can be attributed to his NYC roots. Tom wields his straightforward management approach to drive exceptional growth through the expansion of domestic and international presence; increase brand awareness and reach, and improve audience engagement via multiple revenue-producing media channels.

Familiar with the chapter association operational model, Tom views decisive open and active two-way communication with chapter stakeholders as critical to his future success at ACG. Applying data to understand user preferences and activation triggers has allowed Tom to build media platforms and tailored programming adept to his prior associations’ needs. He’ll use that same perpetual curiosity about audience and commitment to leverage technology to enhance ACG’s engagement.

Tom’s guiding principles for ACG include communication, transparency, innovation, focus on growth and customer service and provide him with the roadmap for successful chapter partnership, increased membership and retention, and event and media expansion.

Tom, his wife Jennifer and their two dogs will be moving to Chicago when his son, Hudson, enters college. Two of his favorite things to do outside of work: watch his son play lacrosse and listen to Bruce Springsteen on vinyl. He expects that he’ll soon become a 93XRT VIP.
