The Association for Corporate Growth Detroit (ACG), a nonprofit business organization that serves professionals throughout southeast Michigan, announced Christopher Letts, the Detroit chapter president, has been awarded the ACG Global Meritorious Service Award for outstanding achievement.
At 34, Letts is the youngest president elected in the Detroit chapter’s 35-year history and is the youngest president across all 59 of ACG’s global chapters.

The award recipients are nominated by their peers, and the award is given to leaders who display a commitment to organizational visibility, loyalty, and growth.
