On July 23, 2007 members and guests of ACG Cincinnati will be hitting the links at the Triple Crown Country Club in Union, Kentucky.  This charity outing benefits Dress for Success, Accounting for Kids and Smart Money Community Services.

As of June 26th there are a few sponsorship opportunities left and room for a few more foursomes but don't delay because the Golf Outing Committee is determined to fill up in the coming week or so to give themselves time to put the finishes touches on what promises to be the outing of the year!

Fees are $200 per golfer or $800 for a foursome.  If you aren't a golfer but want to participate in the networking, register for dinner only for $50 per person.

Major sponsors include the outing's presenting sponsor, Baker Hostetler, the gift bag sponsor, Prudential Capital Group and the event's cocktail reception and dinner sponsor, KeyBank.

ACG is encouraging all members to participate in the ACG Thomson Survey.  So far, more than 700 responses have been received, but the Association wants to make sure that our chapter has enough responses to enable a customized news release about our state results.  ACG Cincinnati will need at least 30 responses for this to happen.  New York, California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have reached the mark - let's help Ohio!

The survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.  Click here to begin.

Beginning August 1, 2007, all ACG Cincinnati member renewals and new members will receive ten luncheon programs with their membership investment!  Instead of paying individually for the luncheon programs, the events will be included in your membership fee.  Yes, that means membership fees will be increased but fees are going up only $100 per year and the lunches are valued at $300 - what a terrific ROI!

Because ACG membership is payable on your anniversary year, members will be gradually adopted into this all inclusive plan.  As you renew your dues (beginning with July 31 anniversary dates), you will be added to the all inclusive plan.  Until then, you should register for lunches as usual with the regular $30 member charge.

If you know someone who has been looking at joining ACG or if you are that someone, the all inclusive package is just the ticket for easy involvement.  Don't forget the numerous other benefits of ACG membership.

| The organization's InterGrowth Annual Conference, providing a sampling of the finest business minds in an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas through panels and keynote speakers.
