ABA Section of Dispute Resolution Annual Membership Meeting

The ABA Section of Dispute Resolution will hold its Annual Membership Meeting on Friday, July 31, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. Outgoing Section Chair Liz Hill will reflect on the Section's work over the past year and share a few thoughts as leadership transitions to a new team for the coming year. As the Section partners with IOA to implement a Model Ombuds Act, this promises to be an exciting year.

The meeting is open, but voting is limited to current members of the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution. Members attending the meeting will vote on the proposed leadership slate, including Officers, Section Council, and Section Delegate to the ABA House of Delegates. The slate includes several familiar faces from the Ombuds community, including former Ombuds Liz Hill, who is running for Section Delegate, and Villanova Faculty Ombuds Meg Willoughby, who is running for Section Council.
