Alexandria, Va. — The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) announces that Eric J. Monzo of Morris James LLP (Wilmington, Del.) has been elected to ABI’s Board of Directors.

Monzo is a partner in the Wilmington, Del., office of Morris James, where he focuses his practice on issues relating to business restructuring and insolvency.
