From The Chair (cont'd)

just one example of the virtual and in-person educational events happening across IWIRC’s networks. Finally, one of our members, Andrea Yandreski, is speaking at the 14th Annual Review of Insolvency Law in Montreal, Canada on February 17, 2017. There are many more examples of how IWIRC and its members are taking a leading role in the insolvency industry.

As Hilary Clinton most recently stated, the “future is female” and we need “women to dare greatly and lead boldly.” To the IWIRC membership, we must keep doing both. Also, recently, my colleague, Michael Coleman, speaking at a recent breakfast for Martin Luther King Day in the United States challenged everyone to, “create a force for good” and ask, “what can I do serve.” I ask you all to ask yourselves how you can help us lead IWIRC boldly forward and find ways to serve IWIRC in its committees, its networks and its mission in 2017.

Thank you to everyone that answered IWIRC's survey and aided the first steps of our strategic planning. Hope to see you all in Washington, D.C. at the IWIRC Spring Conference.

Be well,

Nancy
