- Mediation Organizations Collaborate
December 2011: the Presidents of OAFM, ADRIO, AFCC–O, and OCLF met and formed the new Ontario working group DR5 (Dispute Resolution 5). The group represents Ontario based dispute resolution professionals through their respective organizations. The group is enthusiastically committed to promoting awareness about dispute resolution to the public and other professionals and to sharing information, resources and educational development. Furthermore- DR5 hopes to be able to join forces to work on and advocate for our mutual interests on any newly anticipated legislation concerning ADR on both the provincial and federal government levels.
In addition, the group discussed the possibility of co-sponsoring a conference in or around the Toronto area in 2013. We welcome your feedback, suggestions and questions. DR5 is a new and exciting collaborative working group whose main purpose is to strengthen all 5 organizations by sharing resources and reaching a common ground which we hope will benefit all of our members.
We are including a short bio about each organization and the 5 Presidents along with information on this newly formed DR5 group.
