Peace in Progress: ECADRN’s Night for Conflict Resolution
A Fundraising Celebration for the Next Generation of Peacebuilders
Join us for Peace in Progress: ECADRN’s Night for Conflict Resolution, a powerful and inspiring evening hosted by the Early Career Alternative Dispute Resolution Network (ECADRN) in the heart of Los Angeles County.
At a time when division is loud, ECADRN is amplifying something louder: empathy, dialogue, and justice. This event will raise critical funds to uplift and equip early-career professionals in the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR)—people who are trained to bridge divides, transform conflict, and lead with compassion.
