Happy New Year!
It was a privilege to lead our Chapter over the past year. We accomplished a lot in 2019 and our dedicated members, fantastic Board and amazing Chapter Executive, Andrea Pauson made it all possible. We hosted several great events this past year, including our Delaware Education programs, featuring a fireside chat with Delaware Bankruptcy Judges and a great panel with several prominent practitioners. We raised thousands of dollars for CBAP and CASA of Delaware County at our Summer Charity Classic. We had a great time in Atlantic City at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Symposium. We represented our Chapter at Global Atlantic City at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Symposium. We represented our Chapter at Global conferences, out-registering all other "large" sized chapters at this year's TMA Annual.
I want to thank departing board members Mitchell Arden (Phoenix Management Services), Bradford Sandler (Pachulski Stang Ziel & Jones LLP), Gary Scharmett (Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young LLP), Daniel Stella (Bank of America Merrill Lynch), Steven Kortanek (XClaim Inc.), Nina Fairchild (Citibank), and Jennifer Kirwin Koester (Ricoh) for generously sharing their time, energy and ideas to help guide our Chapter over many years. Special thanks to Chairperson Ed Phillips (Getzler Henrich & Associates LLC) for his support and leadership this past year.
