IWIRC-FLORIDA has Much to Celebrate!

IWIRC-FLORIDA has much to celebrate!  The IWIRC Florida Board is pleased to announce that IWIRC has selected The Honorable Karen S. Jennemann as its Woman of the Year in Restructuring and has also selected our IWIRC Florida Network as the 2020 recipient of the IWIRC Ryan Award for Outstanding IWIRC Network.  Both awards will be presented later this year.  IWIRC Florida is looking forward to celebrating these honors.  Stay tuned for developments on the award presentations. 

The 2020 Woman of the Year in Restructuring- Now in its 14th year, the WOYR award was conceived to honor women in the restructuring and insolvency industry who have shown exceptional leadership and have made extraordinary and lasting contributions to the insolvency and restructuring profession.  IWIRC Florida is grateful for this opportunity to recognize the many and lasting contributions that Judge Jennemann has made to the insolvency practice. To quote Judge Arthur Briskman, "Judge Jennemann is an icon to many as the first female Bankruptcy Judge and Chief Bankruptcy Judge in Florida. She is a mentor to her law clerks, but also helps and inspires many young lawyers throughout the country."  Congratulations to Judge Jennemann on receiving this well-deserved honor.
