American Corporate Partners

American Corporate Partners

American Corporate Partners is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping members and veterans of the armed services transition to the corporate environment. ACP provides current and past military members with mentoring and networking opportunity with employees of America's leading corporations, including Campbell Soup, General Electric, Home Depot, Morgan Stanley, PepsiCo and Verizon. American Corporate Partners has more than 300 mentorships in eight nationwide cities, and has the following goals: Assist in the transition from the armed services to private enterprise for those who have served their country. Grow and strengthen the network of veteran and corporate leaders in the private sector. Provide veterans with opportunities to leverage their military skills and experiences in their career development.

History

The organization was founded in 2008 by Sidney E. Goodfriend, a retired investment banker, and its formation was assisted by a bipartisan group of Generals and prominent political figures, including retired Generals Richard Myers and Peter Pace, former Senators Robert Dole and George Mitchell, and former Cabinet-level officials Lawrence Summers and Paul Wolfowitz.

Key Aspects

Protégés and Mentors are matched one-on-one by city and according to their mentoring preferences. Only employees of our Corporate Partners are eligible to be mentors. During the launch phase of the program, participation is available to Proteges and Mentors in the following cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, New York, Norwalk, and Philadelphia. ACP is not a jobs program, but a tool for networking and long-term career development.

ACP encourages Mentors and Proteges to spend four hours together monthly engaging in the activities of their choice. The mentoring commitment is for one year, and both parties are encouraged to maintain the relationship for a considerably greater period of time.
