Dispute Resolution National Aligns with Equivalent Branch Sections
As a national section, Dispute Resolution is supported by the great work and programming of our Branches. The name change from Alternative Dispute Resolution to Dispute Resolution was not universally adopted as this is a Branch section decision.
