The local Association for Corporate Growth is unique in its mission:
-
To be the premier organization in metro St. Louis focused on profitable corporate growth and development (including acquisitions, divestitures, internal growth and alliances)
-
To promote members’ professional and business interests through outstanding programs, networking and activities of the international ACG and affiliate chapters.
The St. Louis chapter was founded two decades ago and has grown to over 260 executives. Monthly breakfast meetings are held on third Fridays of the program year typically from 7:30 to 9:00 AM at Washington University Knight Center. Monthly mailings provide meeting detail, required reservation information and background on the keynote speaker and his or her company.
Quarterly Corporate Development Sessions are organized locally to address growth challenges during a more in-depth 90-minute intensive class. Meeting sites vary. See our chapter calendar for more details on all dozen continuous-education meetings that the St. Louis chapter hosts.
All meeting speakers are clearly leaders in their fields. Studying growth tactics in multiple industries offers fresh perspectives and prompts creative thought about daily challenges in each member's unique spheres.
