I've given the Receivership 101 program many times, and it always generates an enthusiastic turnout. We figured our large conference room here at JMBM could handle the event, but the response was so great that we sold out almost immediately. Due to popular demand, the Bay Area Chapter of the California Receivers Forum decided to move our program, "Receivership 101" to a larger room at the Omni Hotel, in the heart of San Francisco's Financial District at the corner of California and Montgomery Streets. This is only a few blocks away from the JMBM office in Embarcadero Center.

Please join me at the California Bankers Association's 23rd Annual Lenders Conference on March 22nd and 23rd. I'll be presenting a practical program that I call "Illuminating the Dark Side of the Bank During Challenging Times." My program will cover many of the problems that California bankers are facing in these difficult economic times.

My program will be aimed at an experienced audience of chief lending officers, chief credit officers and loan administrators. We'll touch on issues involving bankruptcy, foreclosure, workouts and forbearance agreements.

I will be speaking on Monday, March 22nd at 1:05-2:30 p.m. and Tuesday, March 23rd at 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The Conference will be held at the Renaissance Esmeralda in Indian Wells, California and will run from Sunday, March 21 to Wednesday, March 24. Hope to see you there.

One of our most-viewed pages on SpecialAssetsLawyer.com is the Receivership 101 slideshow presentation. I've given this program several times, often with my long-time close friend and colleague, Bruce Cornelius. Bruce and I serve together on the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Chapter of the California Receivers Forum, and given the sharp rise in the number of receiverships, the Forum has once again decided to present Receivership 101 live and in person.

This is a great program for those workout professionals who know how to use receivers and would like to stay current, as well as for those who are new to workouts and would like to learn the basics. Bruce and I have lots of amusing anecdotes and practical tips to share along the way.

Bruce and I will be giving the program on February 10, 2010, and all of you are cordially invited to join us.

On September 30, 2009, I was a panelist on the Structured-Finance Asset Restructuring and Disposition webinar sponsored by the top-notch appraisal firm, Property Sciences. The webinar was attended by more than 100 special assets officers, credit officers, asset managers and loan officers. My portion of the panel presentation focused on strategic considerations that workout professionals need to understand in dealing with troubled commercial real estate loans and development projects, and the tools that are available to lenders to collect the loan, foreclose or sell the assets. If you'd like to see the PowerPoint slides that I presented during the webinar, please click the "continue reading..." link below.
