About

Connecting the Middle Market Since 1999

Founded in 1999, ACG Western Michigan is the region’s premier community for middle-market mergers and acquisitions, corporate growth, and business leadership. Established by a group of West Michigan executives who recognized the need for a local network dedicated to dealmaking and business growth, the chapter has become a trusted resource for professionals who advise, invest in, acquire, and lead growing companies.

As a chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), we connect private equity professionals, investment bankers, corporate executives, lenders, attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other trusted advisors who are shaping the future of the middle market.

Our members come together to build meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, and gain valuable market insights through educational programming, networking events, and signature experiences. Whether discussing emerging trends in M&A, leadership, capital markets, talent, or value creation, ACG Western Michigan provides opportunities to learn from industry leaders while strengthening the relationships that drive successful transactions and long-term business growth.

ACG Western Michigan is committed to advancing middle-market growth by fostering meaningful connections, delivering relevant education, and creating opportunities for business leaders to learn, collaborate, and succeed.

Together, we are building a stronger middle-market community across West Michigan and beyond.

Give. Get. Grow.
