It’s been an exciting year for the National Capital Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth.

And if 2012 was an exciting year for corporate growth and the chapter, 2013 should be even more electric. ACG National Capital has a wide range of educational and valuable content and events for members in 2013, including the upcoming Strategic Growth Conference, and the 2013 Corporate Growth Awards Gala.
