The Ethics and Professional Compensation Committee had an active 2018. We strived to continue to provide our members with enlightening and useful substantive information, while also offering enjoyable and valuable social and networking opportunities.
During 2018, our committee offered a wide variety of opportunities for ABI members to learn about timely and interesting issues facing professionals in the bankruptcy arena. The committee strives to use a variety of formats to provide opportunities to our membership, including conference panels, webinars, newsletters and networking events.
- At the Annual Spring Meeting, our committee paired with the Consumer Bankruptcy Committee and presented a panel presentation entitled, “Access to Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 Justice.” The session explored challenges to accessing relief in bankruptcy and discussed efforts being made to address those challenges.
- For the upcoming Winter Leadership Conference, we will join with the Real Estate Committee for a panel discussion entitled, “‘Realty Bites’: Ethical Issues in Real Estate Cases.”
- The committee will have published four newsletters by the end of this year.
- The committee is preparing a webinar for presentation in Winter 2019 entitled, “Trustee Ethics, Duties and Compensation Issues in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11.”
- The Committee is certainly not all work and no play! In 2018, we organized meetings and social events at national and regional ABI conferences to bolster membership, encourage members to become active in the committee, and provide valuable networking opportunities.
Thanks to all of you for your contributions and support of the Ethics and Professional Compensation Committee! If you are a current member of the Committee, we hope you continue your involvement with our committee. If you are not yet a member of our committee, we hope you will join us for 2019!
