Our new chapter was formed in August 2008 to serve the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the Southern Indiana region.
Our region has a well established corporate community and professional support infrastructure as well as a long tradition of supporting corporate growth. While we have several high profile cases of exceptional corporate achievement, there has been no formal outlet for those engaged in corporate development, mergers and acquisitions.
In recognition of this region's growth and development as an economic center, a robust private equity community is developing. Several local private equity firms are in operation and several high profile national firms have recently opened offices. Additionally, our geographic location between Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Nashville places us at the center of a large segment of the Midwest and the U.S. population.
The Board of Directors for ACG Kentucky is enthusiastic about the new chapter. The board consists of senior executives from prominent private equity firms, investment banks, commercial banks, business services firms, and private equity backed growth businesses.
Our board believes the environment exists and the time is right to introduce the benefits of an ACG chapter in this region.
