Why I Joined ACG SV
The Silicon Valley chapter of ACG offers executives an excellent avenue to expand their knowledge and their contacts. I recently attended an ACG session on “Doing Business in China” that was extremely valuable. Although I have conducted business in China for many years, the insight I gained from this particular session was beyond my expectations. It was a working session where executives from a cross section of industries shared best practice ideas and exchanged thoughts on the rapidly changing political, social and environmental landscape in China. ACG events are well organized, attract first-rate speakers and provide an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas.
