The Ethics and Professional Compensation Committee had a tremendous 2023! 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 2023, our committee offered a wide variety of opportunities for ABI members to learn about timely and interesting issues facing professionals in the bankruptcy arena.
- At the Annual Spring Meeting, our committee partnered with the Young and New Members Committee to explore ethical issues encountered by bankruptcy practitioners with a panel presentation titled, “Danger Ahead! Avoiding and Addressing Ethical Landmines in Attorney Engagement and Compensation.”
- For the Winter Leadership Conference, we joined with the Financial Advisors and Investment Banking Committee for a panel discussion titled, “Corporate Investigations for Companies in Distress: Planning, Process and Execution.”
- Our committee issued two newsletters during 2023, presenting and discussing a variety of timely and important topics.
- In addition to the serious work of helping to keep our members educated and informed, the committee ensured that members had time for fun. In 2023, it again focused on organizing meetings and social events at national and regional ABI conferences in order to bolster membership, encourage members to become active in the committee and provide valuable networking opportunities.
The work of our committee is only possible because of our committee’s active and committed board and membership. We thank all of you for your contributions and support! If you are a current member of the Ethics and Professional Compensation 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 in 2024!
