APPOINTMENT TO PANEL OF CHAPTER 7 TRUSTEES

            The United States Trustee seeks resumes from persons wishing to be considered for appointment to the panel of trustees who administer cases filed under chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code.  The appointment is for cases filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia, primarily in the Lynchburg, Roanoke, and Danville Divisions.  Chapter 7 trustees receive compensation and reimbursement for expenses, in each case in which they serve, pursuant to court order under 11 U.S.C. §326 and §330. 

            The minimum qualifications for appointment are set forth in 28 C.F.R. § 58.3.  To be eligible for appointment, an applicant must possess strong administrative, financial and interpersonal skills.  Fiduciary and bankruptcy experience is desirable but not mandatory.

            A successful applicant will be required to undergo a background check, and must qualify to be bonded. Although chapter 7 trustees are not federal employees, appointments are made consistent with federal Equal Opportunity policies, which prohibit discrimination in employment.

            Forward resumes to the Assistant United States Trustee, Margaret Garber,  210 First Street, SW, Suite 505, Roanoke, VA 24011.  All resumes should be received on or before
