Dear Members, Colleagues, Partners and Friends,
I am thrilled to announce the launch of our new Strategic Plan, a pivotal roadmap that embodies our vision and values as leaders for our professional association for Mediators, Arbitrators, and Adjudicators in Alberta.
This plan stands as a testament to the collective dedication and insight of our members, board members, and staff, whose invaluable contributions have shaped its development. The new plan is a reflection of our aspirations and also of our shared values.
As we embark on the path ahead, it is my sincere hope that each of us can recognize ourselves and the vital roles we play within this plan. It is through your expertise, passion, and collaboration that we will realize its full potential and advance our mission with renewed energy.
Central to our strategy is a commitment to growth — not just in terms of numbers, but in the depth and quality of our service to both our members and the Alberta public. We recognize that our success hinges on the strength of our partnerships and the trust we cultivate within our community.
In the coming months and years, we will strive to implement the initiatives outlined in our Strategic Plan, leveraging our collective strengths to continue to evolve and innovate in our service. I am confident that, with your continued support and collaboration, we will achieve these goals and create a lasting impact on the mediation, arbitration, and adjudication landscape in Alberta – ensuring that good dispute resolution processes are available for all.
Yours in ADR
