He joined ACG Minnesota in 1996 when their monthly meetings garnered 25 to 30 people. Mike joined the board in 1998and he is thrilled to see over 400 members today.
Wolf has held nearly every position at ACG Minnesota: membership, awards, programming, and Chapter President in 2008. Even after Wolf stepped down from the presidency, he stayed deeply involved in the chapter and remained on the board through 2014. In his last few years of board service, he was instrumental in developing the new “Bold Awards”, (Bold Awards highlight a local Minnesota businesses for a “Bold” business move such as an acquisition, product development, spin off, growth, new teams, etc.) and even chaired the Bold Awards in their second year. Despite officially leaving the board, Mike continues to help build ACG through his tenth year of serving on the capital connection committee and his third year on the Bold Awards committee.
Wolf also served on the Minnesota Turnaround Management Association board for six years culminating in his presidency, and was a founder of the Minnesota chapter of the Commercial Finance Association and has served as its President since its founding three years ago. Because of his involvement in other groups, he has encouraged joint events between the groups to increase awareness of ACG among the other industry professionals, many of whom have joined ACG.
