ACG New York’s Van Hellemont Honored with Leadership Award
The inaugural recipient of the first Women of Leadership Award is Michelle Van Hellemont of Accordion Partners.
ACG New York is proud to host the 6th Annual Champion’s Awards, which honors outstanding firms and individual deal-makers and transactions in New York’s middle market. This year the committee expanded its signature awards, which include the Peter J. Hilton Award and the New York Chapter Leadership Award, to recognize the significant contribution made by women.
The inaugural recipient of the first Women of Leadership Award is Michelle Van Hellemont of Accordion Partners. As a result of a six-year strategic initiative, today more than 40 percent of the ACG New York board comprises women and minority members. As part of this effort, ACG New York pioneered the Women of Leadership program, with Van Hellemont as chairwoman for the past eight years. The WOL committee has built the Women of Leadership Summit, now an annual event attended by more than 200 industry professionals.
