for nearly two decades ACN has provided a remarkable business
opportunity for people from all walks of life
an opportunity that is changing countless lives all over the world
but at ACN our commitment to changing life goes well beyond our many
independent representative in fact our entire corporate culture was founded on
the principle of giving it's who we are in this commitment continued when ACN
relocated its world headquarters to concord north carolina in two thousand
and eight in fact ACN has dedicated itself to being a good corporate citizen
for concord charlotte and the surrounding area
our first prime example comes with the company's charity work
ACN has played a critical role in helping build in the ronald mcdonald
house of charlotte
when ACN arrived to the area charlotte was one of the few large cities without
a home and ACN made a commitment to change that
already donated more than three hundred thousand dollars to the charlotte
charity ACN has pledged to give two million dollars over the next five
years
it has just been huge
ACN has pledged two million dollars to us over
five years and
we just we couldn't started building a house we couldn't be making the strides
we are making without that
the charity work doesn't stop there in fact ACN has become a proud
sponsor of many local organizations
ACN has also brought two of the company's quarterly training events to their new
home town bringing record crowds to the charlotte area the first event in
june two thousand nine hosted nearly twenty five thousand people and the
latest effect in september two thousand and ten
hosted twenty thousand with ACN guests arriving in charlotte from all
around the world executive director of visit charlotte mike butts couldn't
help but notice the positive affects ACN has brought to the community as
a community as a hospitality community really proud to have ACN here in the
region
it's good for jobs it's good for the economy
and we really appreciate the conventions that are coming to town
you know especially in this economy
i think it's good for people to think about
do business in your own backyard charity begins at home
and take care of the people that help you succeed and so bringing a convention or meeting to town
it's great for the local economy and it's great for the people
live and work in the area
spending
nearly forty million dollars twenty thousand people being in the different
restaurants in
the different hotels and gas stations and retail outlets that's fantastic business
for the city of charlotte and the region
think of a good company they communicate well their transparent they
operate with integrity they give back to the community through
local charities
they do business in their own backyard they're good partners
and that's what ACN is
as we all continue to pay it forward together we can
and will make a difference
