National Task Force on Diversity in ADR
The mission of this group is to devise practical strategies to increase the participation of women and minorities in mediation, arbitration and other ADR processes. It also coordinates with minority bar associations on diversity initiatives around the country.  The committee administers the annual “CPR Award for Outstanding Contribution to Diversity in ADR”, which recognizes a person who has contributed significantly to diversity in the alternative dispute resolution field. The Task Force is currently developing a corporate commitment to diversity, an ADR mentoring program and an apprentice program designed to further diversity amongst neutrals chosen to mediate or arbitrate by large corporations.

The Co-Chairs of this Committee are Laurel Pyke Malson of Crowell & Moring LLP, Charles Morgan of the Morgan Group and Tom Sager of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company.

CPR regularly convenes this committee of in-house counsel, attorneys, and leading ADR practitioners to analyze, establish benchmarks and publish material on issues that are critically important to business practices.
