Celebrate Mediation Week: The Importance of Using Diverse Neutrals

About the Event

This is a great opportunity to learn from fascinating people and engage with the Mid-Atlantic mediation community at a deeper level as we discuss the genesis of Resolution 105 and why the American Bar Association, the Section of Dispute Resolution and the Women in Dispute Resolution believe in the importance of diversity, and what has been done to implement the goals and objectives outlined in the Resolution. We invite you to hear from participants about their experiences with diversity, how they have addressed this issue, and future diversity plans.
