The JAMS Foundation and the AAA-ICDR Foundation have granted $750,000 to support the Ray Corollary Initiative (RCI). The RCI is a nonprofit organization that seeks to remove barriers to appointing diverse arbitrators, mediators and other ADR neutrals to promote the use of all the available talent for ADR.
The AAA-ICDR Foundation joined national leaders in Chicago for the Advancing the Field of Alternative Response Convening, where we hosted a panel and were able to share our strategic initiative to expand the integration of mediation into alternative crisis response systems nationwide.
The Q2 email update celebrates the AAA's 100 years and the Foundation's 10 years, this edition highlights the release of the 2025 Annual Report, the expansion of the Panel Partners Program into Texas, and more.
This report reflects a decade of work that came before us and the momentum that continues to build. Together, we remain committed to supporting prevention and resolution of conflicts by expanding access to alternative dispute resolution.
