Membership is tightly controlled with membership priority given to private equity firms, corporate acquirers, and investment bankers. You join as an individual not a firm.
All other prospective members (including lenders, wealth managers, accountants, attorneys, consultants, those not currently with a firm, etc) should be experienced M&A professionals and, to join, will need to identify and apply with a new corporate acquirer, private equity buyer or investment banker so that our chapter can remain in a healthy balance.
Why do we have this rule?
To maintain a balanced chapter, we ensure that members are active in M&A dealmaking, not just selling services, preserving the value of networking within ACG.
How to join
Service providers (not PE investors, corporate acquirers, or investment bankers) must:
- Partner with a new PE, investment banker, or corporate buyer (excluding ACGU enrollees).
- Complete the online application and email both names to Alison Garber at agarber@acg.org.
- If approved, both members will receive login details.
Membership Dues:
ACG Philadelphia annual dues are $600 per person, and memberships are individual.
If you are unclear what we mean by corporate or private equity members, please view the descriptions below for further clarification.
