2024 ACG CIN DEAL MAKER AWARDS

The Deal Maker program recognizes outstanding organizations and individuals with proven records of leadership, innovation, and success through the art of the deal. Each of the winners has challenged conventional thinking to drive growth in their organization and the business community. The program focuses primarily on transactions and growth within the two years. Prior nominees and honorees include the most prominent and successful companies in the region. The Deal Maker Awards Program is one the most prominent business events in the city with over five hundred attendees.

Lifetime Achievement Award

The Lifetime Achievement Award is the chapter’s highest recognition, reserved only for those exceptional leaders who have driven significant corporate growth, organizational achievement and community impact, and inspired deal-making through acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and financing transactions. This year’s honoree is Mark Greenberg, Founder of Silverstone Capital who was instrumental in growing the middle-market transaction ecosystem during his career

Judging Process

The selection process is highly competitive with fewer than ten awards given annually from an initial field of as many as forty possible candidates. Like any major award, it may take more than one year/nomination to demonstrate the ultimate promise of a deal. The Deal Maker Nomination Review Committee (NRC) will prepare a slate of candidates for approval by the Chapter’s Executive Committee and full Board of Directors.
