The Committee on Business Bankruptcy, consisting of over 1,350 lawyers, professors and judges from several countries around the world, is the world's largest organization of bankruptcy restructuring lawyers. The Committee offers the finest available educational
programs on business bankruptcy for the most sophisticated practitioner to the new lawyer. The Committee meets twice a year: in the fall in conjunction with the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges and in the spring in conjunction with the Section of
Business Law's Spring Meeting. The Committee operates through approximately 33 subcommittees, as well as a number of task forces, working groups and special projects. Each year, the Committee presents dozens of educational programs, almost all of which qualify for CLE. The Committee has become the go-to organization for bankruptcy reform, and develops and reviews proposed bankruptcy legislation and rules. As a nongovernmental organization recognized by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, the Committee is an important participant in UNCITRAL's Insolvency Working Group.

Kate died unexpectedly in May of 2005 at the age of 51. At the time of her death, she was the chair of the ABA Section of Business Law's Business Bankruptcy Committee. This memorial award honors Kate's memory. Kate was a tenured member of the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. She was an accomplished author, scholar, teacher, lawyer, and administrator. In addition to her leadership roles at the ABA, she served in leadership capacities at the American Association of Law School's Section on Creditors' and Debtors' Rights. She was a counselor in the truest sense of the word -- a wonderful mother, a friend to many, a dedicated mentor to students and young lawyers, and a trusted voice of wisdom. She left us too soon. This Award is designed to serve as a lasting tribute to all she was and all for which she stood and to recognize the importance of bankruptcy education and scholarship to the ABA Business Bankruptcy Committee and the bankruptcy profession.

The annual Kathryn R. Heidt Memorial Award will be conferred during the ABA Business Bankruptcy Committee's Annual Meeting in the Fall of each year. The recipient will attend the Fall Meeting of the ABA Business Bankruptcy Committee to receive the award.
