About PEAC
Overview
The Private Equity Association of Chicago (PEAC) is the premier professional organization for pre-MBA private equity professionals in Chicago. PEAC is affiliated with the Private Equity Association, a growing national organization that includes chapters in Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Mission
The desired outcome of our organization is to foster an environment where young private equity professionals can learn from each other’s experiences, share industry knowledge and discuss career matters through social, educational and civic service oriented events.
Funding
The Private Equity Association of Chicago is a non-profit organization that has traditionally been funded mainly via generous corporate sponsorships. PEAC greatly appreciates their continued support and therefore seeks to deliver commensurate value in educational, social and civic service opportunities to our members.
