The Foundation implements its activities through
the Executive Director, J. (Judy) Ballantyne, her Administrative Assistant, Lori Bazin,
and a number of committees whose membership comprises in most instances, at least one
Director. The remaining committee members comprise persons who, like the Directors, are
committed to the promotion and utilization of alternative dispute resolution.

Editorial Board
A sub-group of the Education and Training Committee is the
Editorial Board whose frame of reference is:
Diversity
The Foundation is a non-profit organization which enjoys a diverse and influential
membership in the business community and amongst legal and other dispute resolution
professionals, and wishes to broaden that membership.
Excellence
The Foundation seeks to contribute in a meaningful way to the developing body of knowledge
relating to dispute resolution, both within its membership and in the community as a
whole.
Guidelines for the Foundation’s
publications are as follows:
topics: as the Foundation serves the
business community and dispute resolution professionals, it will publish papers which
consider dispute resolution as it relates to issues arising in the business context, and
papers which explore generic dispute resolution issues.
plain language: in keeping with the
foundation’s policy of inclusiveness and diversity, the foundation requires that
papers be written in non-technical language which is accessible to all readers.
Specialized terms should be defined and explained in the paper.
style and taste: the Foundation requires
clear, business-like writing in language which does not offend on gender or other grounds,
and which is grammatically correct. Overt self-promotion or solicitation by the author of
a paper is not appropriate.
Writers both within the membership of the Foundation and in
the community are invited to submit papers which comply with these requirements to be
considered for publication by the Foundation. |
