It was great seeing everyone at the American Bankruptcy Institute  (ABI) Annual Spring Meeting (ASM). My sincere thanks for all your support and good wishes as I begin my service as ABI's 28th president. Take a look below to see some great photos and videos from the conference and various events since that weekend.

Now running at full speed in my new role, I'm looking forward to collaborating with friends and colleagues, and I hope to cross paths with many more at one of the summer conferences on my schedule, including the 25th Annual Northeast Conference & Consumer Forum in Stowe, VT, the Southeast Bankruptcy Workshop in Amelia Island, FL, the Midwest Regional Bankruptcy Seminar in Cincinnati, OH - and, of course, the 14th Annual Mid-Atlantic Bankruptcy Workshop in Hershey, PA, in August, where you'll see the entire  G/S team.

President's Column, and the occasional  messaging in PETITION .

But in between conferences and clients, I'll be working occasionally from one of my favorite places - Martha's Vineyard. And in between the work, I'll be relaxing and tucking into a few good books. Here are the first few titles on my summer reading list.

Ted Gavin - Catch and release

The Gavin/Solmonese team will be busy with work and conferences all summer long, but we'll all be spending time with family and friends too. We hope you are also able to carve out time for family, friends, some interesting reading, and maybe even some fishing.

Cheers!

Ted
