ACG Orange County’s NextGen Program allows members who are under age 40 and have less than 14 years experience in their industry to participate in the NextGen track.  (First year NextGen members may join the chapter at a discounted rate of $295, which will increase to $325 effective January 1, 2020.)  NextGen membership includes all of the benefits associated with a full membership.

Aimed at growing tomorrow’s superstars within the corporate and service advisor ranks, ACG OC’s NextGen track attracts up-and-coming talent interested in cultivating their business leadership skills through peer-designed social and content-specific forums.

Our NextGen Program consists of the following events:

  • Monthly meetings (breakfasts or lunch) featuring a ten-minute presentation on industry trends from a participant.
  • The ‘Hot Summer Nights’ burgers and unlimited beer and wine event at the Bahia Yacht Club – the full membership is invited to join.
  • A spring and fall happy hour for NextGen.
