“The members of the 2023 class are an inspiration for the commitment, creativity and ingenuity that they demonstrate in both their careers and communities,” Amy Quackenboss, executive director of the ABI, said. “This diverse collection of honorees is comprised of future leaders that will drive ABI and the insolvency community forward.”

Nominations were submitted earlier this year by the candidates themselves or by colleagues via the award program’s website. More than 200 candidates, each with outstanding records of professional achievement and community leadership, were evaluated by members of a 20-person steering committee. Most of the applicants were partners, directors or managing directors at their firms.
