Following opening remarks by Network Chairs Sari Placona and Colleen Restel, current-Chief Judge Christine M. Gravelle and former- Chief Judge Michael B. Kaplan gave entertaining and heartwarming speeches full of praise, well-wishes, a healthy amount of roasting. IWIRC New Jersey Network congratulates Judge O’ Hagan on his appointment.
Board members from the New Jersey Network gathered at the beautiful Fiddler’ s Elbow Country Club for an afternoon Board Retreat that blended business, food, and fun. Over lunch, the group had an opportunity to reconnect, exchange ideas, and discuss the organization’ s ongoing initiatives and future plans. After the business portion of the program, board members enjoyed an introductory mahjong lesson, learning the basics of the game that has received renewed popularity across the globe. With a blend of skill, strategy, and luck, Mahjong proved to be the perfect game for a group of motivated restructuring professionals and the group put their new skills to the test with some friendly competitions. Following the board program, the New Jersey Network welcomed members and sponsors for a happy hour, offering an opportunity to enjoy fantastic food and drink while they socialized and strengthened relationships within the organization.
