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
