Committees

ABI's active committees focus on specific areas of insolvency. Serving on a committee provides the opportunity to expand your professional network, strengthen ties with the industry, and develop a leadership role within your peer community. Each committee publishes a quarterly newsletter, plans educational sessions for ABI's large conferences, and hosts a variety of webinars throughout the year.
