IWIRC 2018 Leadership Summit to be held in Philadelphia
On behalf of the IWIRC Greater Philadelphia Board and all of our Network members, we are pleased to announce that on July 18-20, 2018, IWIRC Greater Philadelphia will host IWIRC’s Annual Leadership Summit.
The Leadership Summit brings together the IWIRC Board of Directors and representatives from IWIRC’s North America, Europe, and Pac Rim Networks for an intensive three-day leadership and business development conference. We are thrilled to be the host Network.
IWIRC Greater Philadelphia has planned an exciting agenda for the Leadership Summit. Highlights include empowering leadership panels; a networking dinner at the famed South Philly favorite Victor Café (where we will be serenaded by opera singing wait staff!), and an excursion to the dazzling Longwood Gardens followed by a networking cocktail reception and dinner at Urban Outfitters’ whimsical garden and event space – terrain.
Sponsorship of the Leadership Summit, at any level, offers an excellent opportunity to demonstrate commitment to the professional development of women; and will provide sponsors with increased exposure both nationally and internationally. Save the dates and make your travel plans now!
We look forward to seeing you there.
For more information, contact Marie Dooley at [email protected] and Amy Vulpio at [email protected].
Please note that the leadership summit is invitation only event for Network Chairs and International Board Members. If you are interested in attending as an At-Large attendee, additional information on the application process will be forthcoming in the Spring.
International: UNCITRAL Update
The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) held its Fifty-Second session of Working Group V (Insolvency Law) during the week of December 18 - 22, 2017, in Vienna, Austria. IWIRC UNCITRAL Committee co-directors Tinamarie Feil and Carren Shulman, as well as additional delegates from London, Kathlene Burke (of Skadden) and Sonya Van de Graaf (Morrison Foerster), were our representatives in attendance.
Topics of the UNCITRAL session included: (1) facilitating the cross-border insolvency of multinational enterprise groups; (2) recognition and enforcement of insolvency-related judgements; (3) directors’ obligations in the period approaching insolvency: enterprise groups; and (4) a proposal from the USA for work on the development of model legislative provisions on civil asset tracing and recovery. The women of the IWIRC delegation also attended the International Bar Association and European Law Institute receptions, met with members of the attending State delegations, and held an exploratory meeting
