March Message from SABBA President

Dear SABBA members,

Thank you for your responses regarding rescheduling the March 2021 meeting due to the scheduling conflict with the LEK Bankruptcy Inn of Court.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make an alternate date in March work with the Chapter 7 Trustee Panel.  Therefore, we will not be having a meeting in March.

However, we will be meeting virtually on April 27th for  “When Securities Issues Collide with the Bankruptcy Code” presented by Randy Pulman, Chief Judge King, and Judge Gargotta.  

Trey is planning a full slate for summer, and it looks like the Chapter 7 Trustees will be rescheduled to July, which is normally a month we skip.

Please stayed tuned for information about resuming in person meetings and rescheduling the Holiday Party for the Clerk’s office. Remember to register for the SBOT Bench Bar Conference (virtual) April 8-9, if you haven’t already.

Stay well,

Natalie Wilson
SABBA President
