The Official Committee of Survivors in the Diocese of Albany bankruptcy, advocating for the interests of all Survivors, will be returning to mediation with the Diocese on January 20 and 21.  Mediation is an important component of the bankruptcy process and allows the parties, with the involvement of an experienced Mediator, to explain their viewpoints and hopefully make further progress toward a settlement.  The Official Committee continues to be involved in all facets of the bankruptcy process and is committed to the best financial settlement possible for all Survivors.  The Committee knows that Survivors want resolution but also understands we need to push hard for fairness on the financial side and make sure that the Diocese puts in place the best youth protection measures possible to protect children in the future. Please note that mediation follows strict confidentiality measures.  The Official Committee will continue to update this website with any developments that may be shared publicly.  Survivors, if represented by legal counsel, should discuss with their attorneys any questions related to their individual case.  Questions about the bankruptcy process may be directed to the Committee legal professionals, Stinson LLP, via albanysurvivorteam@stinson.com.  Every message to Stunson will receive a reply.
