January 12, 2016: CHICAGO – The Association for Corporate Growth’s Global President and CEO Gary A. LaBranche, issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s 2016 State of the Union Address to the American people:
"Middle-market companies are crucial to achieving President Obama’s goals of economic growth, job creation and creating healthy communities. ACG stands ready to work with Congress and the administration to support and reward investment in the middle market.
As the "Voice of the Middle Market," ACG will continue to bring to Washington the message that a one-size-fits-all approach to legislation and regulation simply does not work for the middle market and private capital investors."
Founded in 1954, ACG has 57 chapters across the globe, 45 of which are located in the United States. ACG’s network comprises 90,000 professionals within the middle market, including 14,500 members who serve as the investors, lenders, owners, executives and advisers to growing middle-market companies. ACG’s mission is to drive middle-market growth. For more information about ACG, please visit www.acg.org.
