Your Opportunity for Impact!

Looking to serve our membership in a way that advocates change and engages our community? We have initiated our annual Board Director recruitment process. If you are looking for an opportunity to guide strategic direction in ADR, start here – join our Board!

As a Director you would participate in monthly virtual Board meetings with additional in-person meetings 1-2 times per year. Additionally, you would be asked to serve on one of the two standing committees: Finance, Audit and Risk, or Governance and Human Resources. As well, there are several sector specific committees to engage your area of ADR expertise. We are a governance Board.

Directors are full members who bring a background in various sectors. If you are a lawyer,mediator, arbitrator, business owner, accountant, or you have a background in diversity, equity and inclusion, social work, and or lobbying, share your skills with us and share in our vision: Leading Dispute Resolution in Alberta.

We have a few Director vacancies, expressions of interest are invited to be submitted to Membership@adralberta.com and will be welcome until March 10, 2024. Virtual interviews will be held March 17 – 21, 2024 and Directors will complete the election process and participate in our AGM, scheduled for May 30, 2024.

ADRIA is an organization dedicated to promoting, delivering and improving justice and access to justice in Alberta. We have long valued and drawn strength from our diversity as leaders in this field. We strive to respect individuals based on their integrity, knowing we have much work to do. ADRIA is committed to speaking out against racism and discrimination in all its forms and to ensuring our commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in our training, policies, and operations. We are dedicated to working with ADRIC and our fellow regional affiliates, our members, clients, colleagues, and all others in the pursuit of justice, diversity and reconciliation.

Recap: ADRIA Annual General Meeting June 2022

Last Updated: August 12, 2022

ADRIA again held its Annual AGM in a hybrid fashion on June 16th, with reception gatherings in Edmonton & Calgary, and online opportunities to participate for members elsewhere in the province.  The evening featured a keynote presentation from Queens Bench Justice Anna Loparco, who outlined important Court Initiatives regarding Restorative Justice.

View the recording of Justice Loparco`s presentation and the AGM proceedings. 

Any questions or feedback regarding the 2022 AGM, or suggestions for the future of ADRIA, should be forwarded to board@adralberta.com.

Central to the AGM proceeding were the election and appointment of Board Directors and Officers.  Their bios are detailed on our Board webpage. Two new Board members were added, and ADRIA members will be well represented for the 2022/23 year as follows:

President
Barbara McNeil, C.Med, Q.Arb

Treasurer
Samuel H. Sele, Q.Med

Secretary
Cindy Imppola, Q.Med

ADRIC Representative
Dora Dang, C.Med, C.Arb, C.Med-Arb

Director & Governance Committee Chair
Paul Blakeney, C.Med

Directors
Stephen Carter-Edwards
Jerry Crawford
Diana Lowe
Andrea Menard
Amin Poonja, Q.Med
Sharon Roberts, Q.Arb

The position of Vice President is to be determined.

Three Board members left the Board in June, having completed their terms or relocated out of province: Barrie Marshall, Kevin Kelly and Ali Ansell. Each had contributed significantly to the success of ADRIA over many years, and each will be missed as the Board convenes for 2022/23. We owe them a great deal of thanks.
