WSBA ADR section web site update

The ADR section of the WSBA has implemented a new web site at www.wa-adr.ning.com. It is based on Web 2.0 standards and is oriented around a social networking and marketing orientation, which allows section members tools to collaborate and market their practices on a searchable site. Parts of the site are only accessible by members, and other parts are viewable by the public, which includes the ability to search for section members / mediators by geography skill and interests.

The ADR section provides services to people practicing ADR, and also for users of ADR services.
