Event Secondary Body

ACG Business Leaders Education Series
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm (Prior to the Peer Growth Event)
 
Join us on October 10th for the inaugural sesssion  of the ACG Business Leaders Education Series designed especially for our members!

Business leaders need dedicated top talent to fuel steady company growth. This challenge grows exponentially, however, during a boom economy like we are experiencing in the Northwest.

When recruiting and retaining the best team members, how do you stand out from the competition and deliver shareholder returns at the same time?

If your youngest professionals - Millennials - are dismissive of a conventional 401K or profit sharing plan or you've ever struggled trying to identify company benefits that delight your crowd, don't miss this session.

Fuel Growth is absolutely packed with the ideas you need to succeed. Join ACG member and Financial Advisor Joe Sillay, of Carrano and Associates at Merrill Lynch, as he outlines some of the opportunities available with the right company retirement plan.
