Program
The New England Chapter of the National Academy of Arbitrators (NAA) has trained over two dozen arbitrators in a salon program that began in 2023. Advocates, attorneys, union and employer representatives are invited to join Boston LERA and RCI to meet the arbitrators and socialize. This is a networking event. We will hold a brief speaking program around 7 p.m., which will feature introductions from participating arbitrators. This event will conclude with a brief LERA Chapter business meeting.
We will have a light buffet, and two drink tickets will be provided to each registered attendee.
All are welcome to attend this event.

A bit about our co-sponsor, the Ray Corollary Initiative:
RCI hosts Meet the Neutrals events as part of the RCI’s mission to identify and utilize all of the available talent in the dispute resolution field. Specifically, the RCI seeks to provide opportunities for those who select ADR professionals and for qualified professionals who have not had the same exposure as more established neutrals, to meet, connect, and overcome some of the difficulties that exist in forming new business relationships.
Local arbitrators who are selected by RCI will be featured at the event, with an official introduction made to other participants and inclusion in program materials. This event “spotlight” is specifically designed for arbitrators with some experience, but who are not yet well established in their practice. While every opportunity will be made to allow as much spotlight participation as possible in this event, space and time limitations may limit the number of featured neutrals who are recognized.
If you are an arbitrator interested in participating in this event:
You must book a ticket to attend – see below.
