Topic: Bankruptcy – Speaker, Erin Austin, Chief Financial Officer, Anchorage Daily News

Rarely do we have the opportunity to learn about bankruptcy basics from the perspective of someone who has been through its full cycle in her role as Finance Director.

Our speaker will delve into the organization’s participation in taking a company into bankruptcy, dealing with the legal aspects including selling the company, and then being hired to become the CFO of the new enterprise as it returns to full operations/profitability. This webinar will include practically issues that must be considered during and after the bankruptcy as well as the ramifications.

Join us for this unique perspective from one of our own members.

Erin Austin is the CFO at Anchorage Daily News (formerly Alaska Dispatch News). She began her career as a CPA specializing in Auditing and Attest services after earning a Bachelor of Accountancy at Western Illinois University.

During her six years at ADN, Erin has seen many changes. She started at Alaska Dispatch News as the Controller, and was the Finance Director during the highly publicized bankruptcy in 2017. Since that time, Erin has been instrumental in the transition to the subsequent ownership, assisting with rebuilding the Company, and helping with the integration of several smaller Alaskan publications.

Personally, she serves as the treasurer on the board of a nonprofit afterschool childcare program, volunteers at her son’s school, and is active in church service work. She is currently enrolled as a student in University of Alaska Fairbank’s MBA program. On her free time, Erin enjoys exploring Alaska in her motor home with her two boys and their two dogs.
