NADN members are distinguished by their hands-on experience in the field of civil and commercial conflict resolution, and by their commitment to the practice of alternative dispute resolution.

With her mediation clients in mind, Ellen has already enjoyed making the scheduling process more efficient for them, through use of NADN’s convenient Appointment Request System.”
