ABI Leadership Profile: Reginald (Reggie) W. Jackson (President)
We are pleased that Reggie Jackson agreed to be interviewed for this second ABI Leadership Profile column. After more than 15 years of involvement in ABI, Reggie was named President earlier this year. Reggie is a partner in the Columbus, Ohio based law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, where he focuses on commercial insolvency/bankruptcy, representing secured and unsecured creditors, creditors’ committees and debtors. For all those attending the Winter Leadership Conference, we hope that you will make a point to say "hello" to Reggie. He is not only a fine ABI President, he is also a really nice guy.
Focus: Real Estate Committee
For this issue of the newsletter, we interviewed the co-chairs of ABI’s Real Estate Committee – Alec Ostrow from Stevens & Lee PC in New York, Berry Spears with Fulbright & Jaworski LLP in Austin, Texas and John Young with Block Markus & Williams, LLC in Denver – to find out what the committee does and how you can get more involved. As reported elsewhere in this newsletter, we are pleased to report that the Real Estate Committee will co-sponsor an educational program with the Young and New Members Committee at the Winter Leadership Conference in December. We are looking forward to a very exciting program!
Letter from Committee Co-Chairs
My name is Doug Deutsch. I, along with the other co-chairs of the Young and New Members Committee, Brian Shaw and Katie Pamenter, want to use this opportunity to update you as to what the committee is doing and, hopefully, encourage you to get more involved with ABI and the YNMC.
