Connecting Women Worldwide
About us
International Women's Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation. Our name is long, but our mission is succinct. We are IWIRC, and we are committed to the connection, promotion and success of women in the insolvency and restructuring professions worldwide. IWIRC was founded in December 1993 by Selinda Melnik, Laureen Ryan and Martha Fetner, an attorney, investment banker and commercial banker, respectively. It is a not-for-profit professional association incorporated in May 1994 under the laws of the State of New York, USA. IWIRC held its first meeting in London, England in June 1994. Its first Network, Central Ohio, was chartered in June 1995. Now in our 20th year, IWIRC has been connecting women worldwide. Through a global membership of more than 1,200 attorneys, bankers, corporate-turnaround professionals, financial advisors and other restructuring practitioners, members develop a powerful network of contacts, resources, mentors and friends. Whether it is across the café table or the continents, our diverse relationships make IWIRC the premier organization for women in the restructuring and insolvency professions. The robust international organization supports relationship-building and provides resources at the global and local network levels. Practitioners new to the business, or a region, can plug into professional communities quickly with IWIRC. Through events and interactive tools, we also offer seminars, intellectual capital, career resources, leadership opportunities and guidance for personal and professional development. IWIRC fosters growth and celebrates success. We proactively promote member expertise and achievement through the IWIRC Speakers’ Bureau, our online media database, the I am IWIRC program, Woman of the Year and Founders’ Awards recognition programs, and a professional public profile in our IWIRC online directory, as well as our relationships with other organizations worldwide.
