What International Women's Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation does

IWIRC is a nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 1993 that connects, promotes, and supports women in the insolvency and restructuring professions worldwide. The organization serves approximately 2,400 members organized into more than 50 local and regional networks across six continents, offering networking, practice development, mentorship (including the NewCrew initiative for young professionals), cross-border referral opportunities, and continuing legal education programming. Its single primary customer segment is women professionals — attorneys, financial advisors, trustees, and restructuring specialists — working in insolvency, bankruptcy, and related advisory fields.

The organization's core offerings include individual membership with directory visibility, an annual flagship conference (IWIRC @ NCBJ, next held October 6–7, 2026 in San Diego), the IWIRC Asia Regional Conference, regional network events (e.g., NY Summer Sunset Cruise, Scotland Restructuring Plans update, Minnesota Lynx outing), specialized committees (Virtual Programs, Recognition & Awards), and member-only resources. Its technology footprint consists of a WordPress-based website (iwirc.com) supporting self-serve member registration, event ticketing, and a searchable member directory, supplemented by LinkedIn pages for the main organization and individual networks and an email newsletter program. A Virtual Programs Committee extends engagement via online Literary Society meetings, judicial meet-ups, and virtual conference previews.

IWIRC generates revenue through membership dues (not publicly disclosed) and paid event tickets priced at approximately $10–$50 per ticketed event, supplemented by sponsor and partner support. The organization is operated by a small administrative team of 1–10 employees based in Dover, Delaware, and is governed by its Board of Directors and network-level volunteer leadership. It maintains GDPR-compliant data handling practices, was incorporated/registered in Delaware, and is supported by sponsors and partners within the broader insolvency and restructuring ecosystem.
