Join or Renew

MEMBERSHIP IN PHILADELPHIA:

Membership in ACG Philadelphia is tightly controlled and offered on an individual basis, not as a firm. Priority is given to private equity firms, corporate acquirers, PE-backed executives, operating partners, and investment bankers.

All other prospective members (including lenders, wealth managers, accountants, attorneys, consultants) must: 1) be part of the M&A professional community versus having an interest in selling to our members, and 2) identify and join with a new corporate, investment banker or private equity member (this excludes applicants joining during enrollment to ACGU). To learn why we have this rule, how to join and our definition of corporate and private equity members Click Here.

Please review these membership requirements and approval process prior to completing your membership application, as payment is processed upon submission. *While payment is processed immediately upon submission of your application, if your application is not approved your payment will be refunded within 30 days. You may request to have your application withdrawn and payment refunded at any time during the approval process.

APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

Our annual membership fee is $600.00 which runs for 12 months from the join date through the end of the month of the date of joining.
