ACG members: Is there a college student or recent graduate in your family looking to break into the M&A industry? Do you know a younger professional just starting in their career and looking for advice on how to advance in the middle market?

 

ACG members are invited to bring them to ACG Boston's complimentary 2nd Annual Members-Only Breakfast at Brae Burn on January 8, 2016, where they’ll connect with other ACG members and get exposure to the ins and outs of getting an internship, finding potential mentors, learning the ropes, or advancing in their M&A careers.

 

Kick off breakfast by hearing from Jack Derby, Founder of Derby Management and former Chair of ACG Boston, and then your guest will be able to get valuable advice and tips from PEGs, IBs, advisors, strategics and more.
