ACG gets you access. Members decide who's worth knowing. When you refer someone you respect, you're shaping the community you show up in.
Our membership spans the deal ecosystem: advisory firms, private equity and private credit, lenders, investment banks, law and accounting, and corporate development teams. If you’d want them at your table at your next chapter event, they’re likely a good fit. The best members come from members.
How it works:
Give them a heads-up.
Submit a referral through this form – it takes less than a minute.
We’ll follow up.
Bring them along. If your chapter allows guests/non-members to attend events, invite them to join you.
Share your own story. Which introduction, deal, or hire came out of your ACG network? That's the pitch.
Send your chapter page.
"ACG is the best place to strengthen your network at the national level. We have built thousands of new connections over many years, which have led to hundreds — possibly thousands — of deals."
Referral FAQs:
Is my colleague eligible? Most professionals working in the middle market are a strong fit. Some chapters set specific criteria for their market. If you're unsure, your chapter's executive director can advise on approval parameters.
Can I refer a former member? Yes. People move firms constantly in this market, and a note from a peer is usually what brings them back.
Can I refer someone in another chapter's market? Yes. Submit it and we'll route it to the right chapter.
