The American Bankruptcy Institute has tapped its general counsel and deputy executive director to step up and serve as executive director of the organization, which has more than 12,000 members.
Amy Quackenboss was appointed as the ABI's first general in 2012, two years after she was hired as deputy executive director. She said she will continue to serve as the organization's top lawyer after she takes over as executive director Jan. 1, "until we have further conversations about the general counsel position with the ABI executive committee."
She spoke Monday with Corporate Counsel about how her experience as an in-house leader prepared her for her next role at the ABI. The Alexandria, Virginia-based organization provides nonpartisan analysis of bankruptcy regulations, laws and trends and is often called on to testify before Congress and analyze proposed bills. Its members include lawyers, bankers, judges, professors, lenders and other bankruptcy professionals.
