The FORUM Reaches Out to Female ADR Community

At Minnesota’s first ever luncheon for female arbitrators, a representative and a neutral from the National Arbitration Forum addressed current and would-be female arbitrators.

Held on Friday, April 18, 2008 at Dorsey & Whitney in downtown Minneapolis, the event was organized by National Arbitration Forum neutral Madge Thorsen, along with Leslie Sinner McEvoy, Jocelyn Knoll, and Bernice Fields. About 30 women were able to network locally and to learn about opportunities in the ADR field.

Representatives from groups like the Minneapolis-based National Arbitration Forum and the American Arbitration Association spoke with attendees about the arbitration process and how to go about becoming an arbitrator, reported a Minnesota legal publication.

The National Arbitration Forum applauds and encourages outreach efforts about alternative dispute resolution and arbitration.
