Membership is tightly controlled with priority given to private equity firms, corporate acquirers, and investment bankers. Service professionals must be M&A dealmakers and are required to join with a new corporate or private equity member so that our chapter remains in a healthy balance.

Service professionals include any individual who is not a PE investor, corporate acquirer/c-level exec, or investment banker. If you are a service provider and have a new private equity or corporate member that you are joining with, simply email both names to us at acgphiladelphia@acg.org after you complete your online applications and we will approve them at the same time.

Annual membership dues for ACG Philadelphia are $375 per person and all memberships are offered on an individual basis.
