Diversity Award
Outstanding Contribution to Diversity in ADR
In 2007, the National Task Force on Diversity in ADR created an Award for Outstanding Contribution to Diversity in ADR to recognize a person or organization who has contributed significantly to diversity in the alternative dispute resolution field. Submissions are reviewed by a panel consisting of past winners, along with CPR’s Co-Chairs of the National Task Force on Diversity and CPR’s President.
The awards ceremony is held in conjunction with CPR’s Annual Meeting.
The 2024 award will be presented at the CPR 2025 Annual Meeting on February 6, 2025, in Miami.
CPR reserves the right to submit outstanding candidates that have not been nominated.
