The Mediation Committee has been working nonstop since our last newsletter.
Education: ABI’s Winter Leadership Conference (WLC) will be virtual this year. The Mediation and International Committees will be presenting a joint program as part of the WLC on Thursday, December 3, at 4:00 p.m. ET titled, Peace Bridge or Bridge of Sighs: Cross-Border Mediation of Insolvency Related Disputes.

In January 1918, a soldier stationed at Fort Riley, Kan., reported to the base hospital suffering from flu-like symptoms: a sore throat, fever and chest pain. By lunchtime that day, more than 100 soldiers had come down with the same mysterious malady. This was the beginning of the influenza pandemic that struck the U.S., and later the world, a century ago.
Notwithstanding the pandemic and to no surprise, the mediation committee has been active this summer. Kudos to our past and present committee leaders who are vested in building our membership and driving the practice benefits of an educated mediation process.
