Resolution Institute Certificate Award for service to dispute resolution

Nominate a person for the Resolution Institute Certificate Award for service to dispute resolution

Take this opportunity to nominate a person or organisation who has gone ‘above and beyond’ in their service to dispute resolution, where their work has enriched or enhanced dispute resolution development, theory, practice or context.

About the Award

This is the fourth in a series of four awards to celebrate and honour outstanding contribution and/or practice across the dispute resolution spectrum.

This award can be awarded to a dispute resolution practitioner in any dispute resolution context or to someone whose work is in support of a dispute resolution process. It can also be given to an organisation.

We are seeking to award individuals or organisations who have gone ‘above and beyond’ in their service to dispute resolution, where their work has enriched or enhanced dispute resolution development, theory, practice or context. As part of the nomination process we request that the type of ‘Service’ be defined and this will be noted on the award. Examples include research, advocacy, growth in sector, education, supporting or building cultural competence or inclusion within the DR community.

The Award is a chance:

  • to publicly recognise and celebrate their service to dispute resolution
  • to encourage them and their work

Awardees (selected from nominees) receive an award certificate at a formal presentation of the award at a special or significant event.
