Endowment News Sep 2006

<p>ABI is grateful for the many new contributions to the ABI Endowment and the ability
it provides ABI to finance research and support scholarships related to insolvency.
As always, donors provide support for a number of reasons.
</p><p>According to new lifetime member <b>Ted Gavin</b> of NachmanHaysBrownstein
(Wilmington, Del.), "the ABI membership community provides vitality to
the world economy through the orderly recognition of economic realities and
the optimization of outcomes. At NHB, our bankruptcy practice, and in particular
our Creditor Services Group, have grown dramatically and have benefited enormously
from our active participation in ABI activities. It's a privilege to support
the ABI Endowment as it underwrites important educational and community work
in this area."
