Milestone number a record for the association which caters to the middle market growth community
CHICAGO—The Association for Corporate Growth® (ACG) announced it has achieved a significant membership milestone, surpassing 14,000 members—14,084 members to be exact. This includes 4,073 new members that have joined over the last 12 months, which represents a six percent increase.
"This record-breaking membership level is testimony to the hard work of chapter leaders, members and executives," said Gary LaBranche, ACG president & CEO, FASAE, CAE. "It also reflects the strength of ACG in the middle market and the value that it provides to members."
ACG continues to be the home for the middle market both in the U.S. and globally. Such growth was underscored in 2011 with the formation and launch of two European chapters in Spain and the Czech Republic and a third planned for Q1 of 2012 in the United Kingdom.
Founded in 1954, ACG is a global organization with 56 chapters. Doing business in the middle market is at the heart of the ACG membership experience.
