Not only will this one-of-a-kind international experience bring the world together through TMA, the programming that has been created is a conglomeration of some of the best and brightest restructuing talent from around the world.
It will start, for example, with a Network of Women program that will be a Journey Through Inter conditional and Interlocking Schemes of Arrangement & Restructuring Plans, featuring UK Attorney and TMA Europe NOW chair Anna Nolan, US Attorney and TMA Global President Elect Rachael Smiley, Milbank Tweed Singapore partner Jacqueline Chan, South Square Barrister Felicity Toube, specializing in insolvency practice in the ADGM, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, and Bermuda, Dutch Advocate and Lawyer Barbara Rumora-Scheltema and French Senior Partner Veronique Dobelle.
Wow! What a way to kick off a multi-day international program that will include other stand-out education opportunities, a cross boarder focused TMA Boot Camp, a NextGen workshop, Rapid Fire Masterclasses, and a host of outstanding networking courtesy of the TMA UK Chapter, TMA Europe, TMA Global, and a host of TMA members and leaders from nearly every continent in the world.
London is calling, so answer the call and be part of this unique international experience by registering today. Go to TMA-europe.org for the full schedule of events and learn more.
Lastly, today on this segment of member moments, we salute the memory of the late Kevin Carey, former TMA Global chair, retired Delaware bankruptcy judge, and most recently, Hogan Lovells’ Philadelphia partner, who passed away suddenly last week.
Judge Carey touched many of our lives, as a judge, teacher, mentor and friend. And in the years he was involved with TMA and named its President and Chairman, he was the first, and to date the only sitting judge to have assumed the highest of TMA leadership roles.
I not only had the pleasure and honor of getting to know Judge Carey when I was a practitioner but also worked with him as a volunteer when I was involved for many years with the Mid-Atlantic Symposium. I had the honor of toasting his retirement from the bench. I also had the opportunity to work with Judge Carey, where together we taught at the St. John’s Law School/ABI mediation program.
Judge Carey was honored as a past chair at the 2018 Hall of Fame ceremony in Colorado Springs, where we celebrated his service to our defining organization. We will celebrate Judge Carey’s life in a special tribute in the May JCR and plan to hold a ceremony in his honor at this year’s TMA Annual, to be held in Judge Carey’s hometown of Philadelphia, PA.
May the memory of Kevin Carey be a blessing.
As always, thanks for taking the time to listen today. And thanks again to our TMA CEO Speaks exclusive sponsor, Second Wind Consultants, for your support of TMA and this podcast.
As TMA Lights The Way, your input is critical, your contributions paramount, and your engagement the foundation that will create a better TMA for all of our members.
Until next time, I’m Scott Stuart. Be safe, resilient, and TMA Proud.
