What is a requirement for a firm to be classified as an ACG Member Firm?

For a firm to be classified as an ACG Member Firm, one of the key requirements is that it must have employed the candidate for a minimum of six months. This criterion ensures that the candidate has adequate experience and has had sufficient exposure to the firm's processes, values, and procedures before representing the firm within the ACG framework.

Having a candidate with a substantial period of employment helps to maintain the quality and credibility of the organization's participation in ACG initiatives. Experience within the firm allows the candidate to better understand the specific practices, project types, and methodologies that the ACG emphasizes, fostering a deeper commitment to professional standards and effective commissioning practices.

Other requirements might seem relevant, but they do not directly align with the employment criteria that serve as a basis for ACG membership. For example, a firm's operational longevity or completion of projects might enhance its reputation but aren't specifically about the candidate's readiness and experience within the organization.
