KUDOS TO THE SOUTHEAST BANKRUPTCY WORKSHOP ADVISORY BOARD!
|
|
For the sixth straight year, the advisory board for the Southeast Bankruptcy Workshop has distinguished itself by achieving 100 percent participation in giving to the Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund. The campaign was spearheaded by Jerry M. Markowitz (Markowitz, Ringel, Trusty + Hartog, P.A.), Robert P. Reynolds (Reynolds, Reynolds & Little) and Kristina Johnson (Jones Walker LLP). This is the best performance of any program board for the sixth year in a row! ABI thanks them for their generous support and stellar example. We also thank Ashley S. Rusher (Blanco Tackabery & Matamoros, P.A.) and David K. Bowsher (Adams and Reese LLP) for their efforts in driving silent auction donations.
