“For 15 years I served as the chief executive officer of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG). I first met Franz in 1991 while he was serving as the volunteer president of ACG Los Angeles. He organized the first major conference for the chapter and subsequently did an outstanding job in orchestrating similar successful events for ACG San Francisco and ACG Seattle. Franz is a fiscal conservative and as treasurer of ACG at the international level in the mid-90s his advice and action were invaluable to me as we steered the association through tough times. In 1997, Franz showed another side of his leadership quality when he chaired the annual international conference of ACG, known as InterGrowth. He revamped the program, introduced a series of panels and outstanding speakers, and caused us to “think outside the box”. Franz personifies all that is best in volunteer leaders. He’s a perfectionist. .. hard working and driven, outspoken, kind…a man of great instincts. You can count on Franz.”
