History

Our History

Founded in 1999, ACG Western Michigan is the region’s premier association for professionals involved in middle-market mergers and acquisitions, corporate growth, and business leadership.

The chapter was established by a group of West Michigan business leaders who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to fostering meaningful relationships, sharing market insights, and supporting the professionals who advise, invest in, acquire, and lead growing companies.

Over the past two decades, ACG Western Michigan has grown into a vibrant community of corporate executives, private equity professionals, investment bankers, lenders, attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other trusted advisors. Through educational programming, networking events, and signature experiences, the chapter connects members with the people and ideas driving middle-market growth throughout West Michigan and beyond.

As one of more than 50 chapters worldwide, ACG Western Michigan is part of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), a global organization serving the middle-market M&A community.
