Member Testimonials

"My membership in ACG Tennessee has been one of the most impactful investments I’ve made for my career and our firm. The local connections I’ve made have been invaluable, but what truly sets ACG apart is its extensive national network. The ability to connect with like-minded professionals across the country has opened doors and provided us a firm with a deep network that we wouldn’t have been able to build otherwise."

- Lamar Stanley, Highland Rim Capital

"As a new member of ACG Tennessee, I've been thoroughly impressed by this group. The chapter fosters an exceptionally welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, with existing members going above and beyond to help newcomers integrate. Their willingness to make proactive introductions has opened doors to valuable connections and opportunities. The variety of events do a fantastic job of catering to the needs of the members, providing ample chances to learn and grow. I strongly encourage members to take full advantage of everything membership has to offer and be proactive in reaching out to others."

- Leslie Beale, Profusion Strategies, LLC

"My ACG membership paid for itself several times over within my first year. I built my business entirely by word of mouth and never paid for advertising, so I was very selective and took my time about where I wanted to make an investment. ACG was 100% the right choice. It’s a highly engaged group here in Tennessee and I felt welcome from the start. Not only have I made incredible connections locally, but as a member you also receive access to a larger national network that has matured over several decades. The success rate of receiving responses from ACG members from out of state has truly exceeded my expectations. ACG holds a lot of gravitas and will continue to be a cornerstone for my business’ long-term growth strategy."

- Elisabeth Constantin, ABREO Executive Services

"A few years ago, a colleague invited me to an ACG Tennessee event, and I was immediately impressed. The meaningful conversations, valuable education panel, and engaging connections inspired me to join as a member that same day. As an executive coach and advisor, ACG has been valuable in broadening my knowledge and providing resources and relationships that enhance the work I do with leaders. It’s helped me build lasting connections and uncover insights that go beyond my expectations. I’ve even encouraged colleagues to join, and they’ve experienced the same benefits. ACG continues to deliver far beyond my first interaction, and I’m proud to be part of such a dynamic community."

"As an active member of multiple ACG chapters, I decided to transfer my membership to ACG Tennessee after attending one of their events. I made this decision for three key reasons:

Supportive Community: ACG Tennessee's members are always eager to share advice, make connections, and support your networking efforts.

Diverse Expertise: The group boasts a wealth of knowledge across various industry verticals, including private equity, investment banking, consulting, and more.

Engaging Events: Each event hosted by ACG Tennessee is not only informative but also enjoyable. What more could you ask for in an ACG chapter?"
