I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast session with Alec Chapa on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show.
He is the Co-Chair of the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution Ombuds Committee and a Conciliation Specialist with the U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service. He founded Mosaic Collaborative Consulting.
A published scholar, proven business consultant, and seasoned conflict resolution professional, he works tirelessly for all of Mosaic's clients.
In this series, we examined the history, goals, objectives, and impact of Ombuds Day.
We also analysed the meaning of Ombuds, its types, and its historical underpinnings.
Alec, a key contributor to last year’s Ombuds Day, revealed the impact of last year's event, particularly the impact of the proclamations received in the previous year from thirty-nine (39) states in the United States and the strategic approach employed to engage with these states.
Furthermore, we explored the preparation for this year’s (2025) Ombuds Day and the significance of its theme, "Ombuds: Empowering Voices, Resolving Challenges," while highlighting the process involved in becoming an Ombudsperson.
Finally, Alec provided invaluable insights on how individuals and the public can join the American Bar Association (ABA) Dispute Resolution (Ombuds Committee) and its associated benefits.
He wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile below:https://lnkd.in/e5SgnTPX.
