"It’s hard to pick any one reason to belong to the College. Is it the continuous emphasis on civility and professionalism, coupled with timely webinars, live programs (COVID permitting), and materials to give attorneys the tools to develop and maintain those qualities? Is it the chance to both meet the giants of the profession informally and hear them speak in formal presentations? Is it the creativity and attention to detail from our headquarters folks, Susan and Jen, that make the programs memorable and easy to access no matter what obstacles fate throws at them? It’s all of the above, and more. It is an honor and joy to belong to the College."
- Luella E. NelsonArbitrator/Mediator, Portland, OR and Oakland, CA
