ABI's Diversity and Inclusion Mentoring Program (June 2024 – June 2025) seeks to build personal and professional relationships while promoting diversity and leadership within ABI.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Member of ABI
- Professional experience between 4-10 years, including clerkships

Program Expectations:
Guided by the DWG Mentoring Subcommittee, there will be bi-monthly meetings or programming to address a variety of topics, with resources from ABI and members of the restructuring community, including judges, trustees, attorneys and financial professionals. These structured events will occur between April 2024 – June 2025 and will provide an opportunity to interact with other experienced insolvency professionals while providing an educational program and fostering opportunities to discuss important topics in the mentees’ professional development. The mentors will meet regularly with the mentees to provide substantive feedback and support relating to professional development and growth, as well as subject-matter experience. The mentees will meet regularly with the mentors and solicit substantive feedback and support relating to professional development and growth, as well as subject-matter experience, and any other topics that the mentees choose. The goal of the Mentoring Program is to expose the mentees to the many aspects of the restructuring profession, including becoming involved in ABI, and interacting with mentors’ colleagues, peers and networks.
If selected, Mentees commit to attending all 6 structured meetings/programs.
