Annual Conference & Awards Dinner
The 5th Annual ATTA Conference was the best to date, with a record number of attendees.  It was also our busiest with sessions running over two full days plus the Awards Dinner on the Friday evening.

With sessions covering everything from how advances in neuroscience impact transformations to turnaround opportunities in mining, the Conference agenda was packed with fascinating sessions invoking thought-provoking and incisive discussions from the delegates.

We are grateful to Adam Salzer and PwC for their support, to Jayne Purser and Bob Fonow for their help in organising the Conference and Debtwire who were our Media Partner.

At the AGM on 7 November, Rupert Purser, AMEA Head of Business Consulting & Risk Advisory Services, Hill International, Inc. stepped down as Chair of ATTA and Russell Brown, Managing Director, LehmanBrown International Accountants took over.  The Board is grateful to Rupert for his contribution as Chair.  He will continue to serve as a Director of ATTA and to head the Membership Committee and Judging Panel for the Awards.

  Rupert Purser

Also at the AGM, ATTA Board Directors Lesli Ligorner, Bob Fonow and Wenwei Lin stepped down due to work commitments.  The Board are very grateful to all of them for their considerable contributions to ATTA.  Lesli and Bob are Founder Members of ATTA and were amongst the first group of Directors on the Board.  Lesli has worked hard to develop the Shanghai Chapter and has provided much support to the Board on matters legal, constitutional and operational.  Bob was ATTA's first Executive Director and has been a key figure in the development of ATTA in Beijing.  Wenwei has worked alongside Salman Bokhari in managing the Singapore Chapter.  All continue to support ATTA but in less prominent roles.  We thank them for the roles they have played in bringing ATTA to where it is today.

As the Board says goodbye to Lesli, Bob and Wenwei, we are pleased to announce the appointment of three new Directors.  Glenn Darwin was elected a Director at the AGM.  Following Glenn's election, Steve Hardacre, Managing Director, Critical Game Consulting and Game Changing Healthcare Ltd and Alastair Monteith-Hodge, Managing Director, Burson-Marsteller, volunteered to assist on the Board and they were appointed  by the Board at the Board meeting on 11 November to serve until the next AGM when they may stand for election.  Click here for details on our full Board.

We are delighted to have Glenn, Steve and Alastair on board.


Steve Hardacre and Glenn Darwin.
