About ACG Networks

While you can find information in so many places these days, ACG’s peer-to-peer networks offer invaluable wisdom. ACG actively cultivates networks for a variety of subsets within the middle-market community to provide you with focused peer-to-peer networking and best practice sharing. 

Women's PODs (Professionals Opening Doors) is program developed to help women in Austin and San Antonio better leverage their centers of influence. The PODs are groups of roughly 10-15 professional women who meet monthly to network, build community, and ultimately refer business back and forth. The PODs are structured intentionally to avoid overlaps in areas of expertise as much as possible. Each POD is unique and meets at a different time/location, but typically the time commitment is one hour per month for those meetings. Ladies who would like to participate must be an ACG member. For more information or to join a POD, please email acgasa@acg.org.

Manufacturing & Industrials POD - This newly formed POD in Austin focuses on manufacturing, industrial services, distribution, supply chain, logistics, infrastructure, and related operating companies. These businesses are highly relevant to the Texas middle market and frequently intersect with private equity, family office investment, succession planning, operational improvement, and M&A activity. Any ACG member who is an operator, investor, lender, attorney, CPA, investment banker, value-creation advisor, insurance/risk advisor, HR/talent professional, and consultant serving industrial and manufacturing companies may participate. For more information or to join, please email acgasa@acg.org.
