+ 2021 Goals & Resource/Support
First, a Happy New Year wish to each of you as we are just 38 hours from the beginning of 2021!
In 2019, we started a new value-added engagement aspect to the ACAC organization model, the Goals & Support/Resources document. The purpose of this document is to encourage engagement and trust-building according to our Mission & Values. For those who were in attendance on December 11th, your goals
and support/resource requests are automatically included in the 2021 Goals & Support/Resources document.
Based on feedback from last year, we have added a couple of fields to the document including company name, area of expertise, and ideal target markets. This was great feedback and should empower everyone with the insight needed to make great referrals or connections!
HOW TO BE ADDED TO THE DOCUMENT: For those of you who could not make it to the meeting in December, you can still be added! All it takes is a little bit of effort on your part:
- Review the document and see if you can offer any assistance to anyone on the list. CLICK HERE to review.
- Assistance entails, making a referral, introduction to help someone move toward their goal OR to realize the resource or support request.
- One-on-one meetings do not count. These are recognized in the Shout Outs, but do not count as an engagement factor unless, during that one-on-one, you offered the resource or goal connection.
- Help FOUR people on the list and your goal and resource can be added. Simply let Sherre', Jeff Moder, or John Natoli know what you did and for whom, and we will confirm. Once you have reached your four minimum, you can be added. It's that simple!
ALREADY ON THE LIST? Just because you are already on the list, this doesn't mean you can be a slacker! Why not be the example? Let's see how much support we can all be to one another! Who knows what the year ahead may bring and it is always a little better with a little help from our friends and colleagues!
Also, please review your listing and let us know if anything needs to be updated or corrected. Email Sherre' directly and put ACAC Goals & Support Document in the subject line. THANKS!
WATCH IT RECORDED: We intentionally do not record the ACAC meetings because we want people to show up and participate and not use the fact that it is recorded as a stop gap to engagement. However, Sherre' did record the December meeting for her own purposes to capture the information shared for the document, so consider this a belated gift to all who may want to watch or listen. It's our way of saying
thanks to everyone, with hopes it will inspire you to "Dream Wide Awake" and leverage relationships in ACAC in the process. CLICK HERE for the audio only. CLICK HERE for the video.
With the numbers continuing to climb, we will remain virtual for the next few months. The engagement and interaction continues to be strong and is appreciated
Kudos to all who continue to make ACAC a community of consultants of the highest caliber and intent. See more details in the link below for our January 8th Virtual Meeting, where we will feature several ACAC attendees and a new face in a panel discussion on Fractional Expertise. This will start at Noon like previous
virtual gatherings, but I do ask that you try to log in between 11:45 - Noon, if possible so we can start shortly after noon.
This should be an engaging and informative program!

+ Attendance Has Its Privileges
ATTENDANCE HAS ITS PRIVILEGES! All the more reason to participate and attend, so you can share your exciting involvements with the group.
- MONTHLY MEMBER ALERTS: To have your items considered, send to sherre@bizgrowthinc.com by the deadline stated in the post-meeting Thank You or What You Missed email each month to be considered for the inclusion in the following month.
- Share items that are happening in the upcoming 30-45 days time period. It can be an event at which you are being featured, or a charitable event.
- Thank yous can be for a referral, an opportunity to collaborate, or some other form of engagement with or support from another member.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: After more than four months of non-attendance, re-engagement with attendance will be required again to be able to share information and be included in the alerts.
- BEING A MEETING FACILITATOR: Did you know? The Leadership Team has determined that another benefit of regular attendance is the opportunity to facilitate a meeting session on a topic you are passionate about that is of value to other ACAC members and their clients. Why do we only allow attendees to be considered? It is yet another form of building trust and engagement within our group.
Those who are engaged in the group gain further ways to connect and showcase success and competencies. Now you know!
- ACCESS TO ATTENDEES LIST: Each meeting, as a follow-up, the attendees emails are shared in a follow-up email, with the hopes that one-on-ones and connections will continue to be fostered outside of the monthly meetings. If you have shared an event at the meeting, you are encouraged to use that list to share further info with those attendees in a follow-up communication.
Always the Second Friday of the Month!

Why are ACAC and IMC a great strategic combination for your consulting business? Here is what Karen Bentley shared about why she joined IMC and values ACAC.
"As a result of my participation in ACAC, I had an opportunity to attend a Carolinas Chapter IMC meeting which piqued my interest in learning more about the national organization. Additionally, through the trusting relationships built at ACAC I was asked to present a workshop at the September quarterly meeting of the IMC Carolinas Chapter. Having had an opportunity to interact with the professionals engaged with IMC here in North
Carolina, I was motivated to join the national organization. As with ACAC, the IMC is an organization committed to providing quality content and a strong network of professionals committed to each other's success." - Karen Bentley, Bentley Consulting Group
