Washington, D.C. Network
The Washington, DC Network has been busy this Fall.
On September 29, 2016, the IWIRC Washington, DC Network co-hosted Turnaround Lending 2016: What Borrowers and Lenders Need to Know, along with several other organizations, including the IWIRC Greater Maryland Network. The program, which was held at ABI’s Headquarters in Alexandria Virginia, was very well received. IWIRC DC Members, Rosa Evergreen (Arnold & Porter LLP), Lauren Friend McKelvey (Odin, Feldman, & Pittleman, PC), and Suzanne Kelly (Kelly Garfinkle Strategic Restructuring) served on the Advisory Board for the program. Rosa also moderated the panel on “Getting In”: DIP loans, loan requirements and situations, underwriting turnaround loans, portfolio management. A link to the program is available here.
On November 9, 2016, the Washington, DC Network escaped from a James Bond inspired Escape The Room DC -- with 30 seconds to spare! Following our great escape, we shared sangrias and made new connections over dinner at Rosa Mexicano.

On October 15, 2016, the Washington, DC Network joined the Virginia Network for our third annual hike in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, including a path along the world-famous Appalachian Trail. We enjoyed beautiful weather and gorgeous views of the Shenandoah Valley below. After the hike, we returned to IWIRC World Headquarters, and Shari Bedker served us a delicious home-cooked meal.
