ANNUAL SELECTION OF MEDIATORS

Each year the Executive Committee will select the Panel from the applications submitted, giving due regard to mediation training and experience and such matters as professional experience and location so as to make the Panel appropriately representative of the public being served by the Program. Appointments will be limited to keep the Panel at an appropriate size and to ensure that the Panel is comprised of individuals who have broad-based experience, superior skills and qualifications from a variety of legal specialties and other professions. Accordingly, during its annual review, the Executive Committee may add new mediators, replace mediators whose terms have expired without renewal, and/or renew the terms of existing mediators.
