The purposes and objectives of the California Receivers Forum are to provide a statewide organization to promote the ethical administration of receivership practice and encourage increased professionalism in the receivership area by providing educational tools and services; to foster and facilitate the exchange of information; to provide a forum to discuss issues of importance to the members; to disseminate useful and instructive articles and ideas; and to provide avenues of effective communication between the Forum, its constituents, and the courts, on matters including, but not limited to: Informing the membership and its member organizations concerning current or projected legislation and local rules; eliciting memberships participation as appropriate; securing recommendations regarding policy positions and relevant issues; initiating and/or supporting legislations to enhance the posture of receivers and oppose that deemed injurious to the best issues of receivers. The Forum is a volunteer-directed state association consisting of incorporated affiliated enterprises hereinafter referred to as the “Local Affiliates.” The Forum is a non-profit public benefit corporation seeking qualification under 26 U.S.C. 501 (c)(6). It is not the purpose or objective of the Forum to endorse any particular receiver. Further, membership in the Forum or a Local Affiliate is not intended by the Forum or Local Affiliate to be a certification of the qualifications of any individual to act as a receiver.
