Here's what others have to say:

“ACG is a business organization focused on helping pro’s grow their firms.  The network I have built  from ACG provides me with great ideas and  answers to my most complex questions...whether M&A, growth pains or current law or tax changes."   Tim Meyers, CFO, Embody and past President, ACG National Capital

Mark Phillips, Past President of the Association for Corporate Growth in Raleigh Durham and the Piedmont Triad, and Managing Director of Lamkin Road, shares his reasons for investing his time in ACG.   “ACG has helped me build my personal brand/reputation, which has proved important lately as I launched a new M&A firm after leaving my previous firm of 10+ years. I’ve also gotten business referred from individuals with whom my relationships either started with or were solidified by ACG.”

Anna Townsend, Partner at Cherry Bekaert and the VP of Programs for ACG Raleigh Durham. Anna says the value she gets from being an ACG Raleigh Durham member has created a “network of people upon which I feel comfortable reaching out to, sending business to, and just overall enjoy their company.”   

“I’ve been a member for nearly nine years. I originally joined to expand my business network and meet professionals from across the metro area working in businesses and industries that were growing and innovating. My expectations have been exceeded with the number of new professionals I am now connected with and the educational breakfast presentations on topics that are pertinent to any growing organization.”   Mark Fortino, Country Club Bank, ACG Kansas City

Years ago, I joined ACG as a career private wealth manager. After ‘retiring’ I continued membership to stay current with capital markets people and activities. Now as the Founder and Managing Director of KCRise Fund, a venture capital group which invests in KC region high growth, early-stage technology companies, the added focus of ACG to our region’s NextGen entrepreneurs has enriched my membership and relationships.”  Darcy Howe, KCRise Fund, ACG Kansas City
