A WORD FROM THE ACG ATLANTA CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Welcome and thank you for attending M&A SOUTH 2021. The ACG Atlanta Board of Directors and I look forward to hearing about the great business value and expansion of your professional networks you will gain by participating in this virtual event. ACG’s global mission is to drive middle market growth. Our organization is comprised of over 14,500 global members and Atlanta is one of the largest chapters, along with New York and Chicago. We consistently hear that M&A SOUTH, formerly the Atlanta ACG Capital Connection, is an essential start to each New Year. It serves as a key connection point for the deal-making community, both locally and nationally, through all of the people who participate year-after-year. The relationships our attendees establish and build through Atlanta ACG events have a positive impact on their business and careers, and this year’s conference is certain to deliver that for you again. ACG Atlanta continually strives to find new ways to drive middle market growth and promote networking within the deal community. The corporate or strategic buyers are a vital component of the deal ecosystem. Through content and one-onone meetings our attendees exchange ideas and make contacts to help continue the growth of the middle market here in Atlanta and the South. This conference is one of many opportunities our members have to network with the “Who’s Who” of the Atlanta business community. With a membership base comprised of corporate leaders, investors, and consultants, the benefits of exchanging information, opportunities and growth strategies abound. We hope you will also join us at our next signature event, the ACG Atlanta Georgia Fast 40 celebration this summer to honor Georgia’s Fastest Growing Companies. We welcome you to join, attend our events, and become involved behind the scenes in committees as well. Many thanks to the Chair of the 2021 M&A SOUTH conference, Steve Tye and to the entire committee for its great efforts in making this another “Must Attend Event” for the M&A community. Very truly yours, Ann Cox Chairman of the Board, ACG Atlanta
