We Celebrated
On Friday evening at the National Historic Landmark Building that houses the Center for American Art and Portraiture , we bestowed the Distinguished Service Award on Jamie Sprayregen for his lifetime of service and commitment to the excellence of our profession . Jamie accepted the honor with gratitude and elegance .
In addition , throughout the weekend we also celebrated the outstanding work of the Foundation and Pro Bono Committee . These two groups implement the fund raising and grant review processes of the College , and help define who we are as a dynamic , actionoriented organization , giving back and paying it forward in the insolvency space . Many thanks to Jan Hayden , Vince Lazar and Norm Pernick for their commitment to the College and this mission .
We Socialized
From the circuit luncheons , to the new fellows ’ breakfast , to the post-induction dinners , we spent time with cherished friends and made some new ones . It was a very special weekend for everyone .
I look forward to seeing everyone at one of our summer programs or in September in Seattle .
Be well , and have a wonderful summer .
