The ADR Awards recognise both\u00a0individual and team excellence and commitment to innovation in the field.\u00a0Following the cues from previous years\u2019\u00a0<em>Shades of Blue<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Back to Black, Chic<\/em>, the 6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual ADR Awards\u00a0held on Thursday, 31 March 2022\u00a0went\u00a0<em>Emerald on the Green<\/em>, returning live to the stunning venue at the prestigious Australian Golf Club.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The venue buzzed with life even before the event proper, with laughter and conversation through the cocktail hour. There was not a dull moment, with Australia\u2019s premier magician, Fast Jimmy, astonishing guests with his close-up tricks and international jazz legend, Eddie Bronson on saxophone priming the guests for a brilliant night of celebration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a warm welcome from Ms Lockhart and the Welcome to Country by Auntie Lola Ryan, the evening kicked off with Robert Teicher, Elizabeth Lecoanet, and Eddie Bronson\u2019s expertly delicate rendition of\u00a0<em>Evergreen<\/em>, originally performed by Barbra Streisand and Paul Williams, as an homage to this year\u2019s\u00a0<em>Emerald on the Green<\/em>\u00a0theme.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their versions of Showboat\u2019s\u00a0<em>Can\u2019t Help Lovin\u2019 Dat Man<\/em>\u00a0and Pablo Beltran Ruiz\u2019s iconic\u00a0<em>Sway\u00a0<\/em>were delivered with elegance and style, setting a great mood for the rest of the evening. Guests were also in for a show-stopping treat with a breathtakingly moving performance by internationally acclaimed William Barton, on didgeridoo and guitar. In a tribute to the work that our ADR practitioners provide to the community, both William and Robert have been tremendous supporters of the Australian ADR Awards over many years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The evening\u2019s celebrations also commemorated the 35<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Anniversary of the Australian Disputes Centre. Since 1986, ADC has been at the forefront of developing the practice and quality of\u00a0ADR. In an inspiring segment on ADC\u2019s Journey, and its development of dispute resolution talent, four of ADC\u2019s current and former stellar Associates stepped up to the mic and guided guests through ADC\u2019s story and its contributions to the development of dispute resolution in Australia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Representing the Supreme Court of NSW and Chief Justice Andrew Bell, the Hon. Justice David Hammerschlag gave the after-dinner speech, acknowledging the significance of the work undertaken by Australia\u2019s ADR profession and the value of their innovative approach to the work of the Court. In recognition of recently retired Chief Justice Tom Bathurst\u2019s significant contribution to ADR over his esteemed career, Mary Walker OAM and ADC Chairman John Wakefield also announced a new ADR Award category for 2022\u00a0<em>&#8211; The\u00a0Hon. Tom Bathurst ADR Advocate of the Year\u00a0Award.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2021\u00a0Annual Australian Awards debuted two dynamic award categories:\u00a0<em>Community Mediator of the Year<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>ADR Student of the Year<\/em>. Nigel Biginell was awarded\u00a0<em>Community Mediator of the Year<\/em>\u00a0in recognition of his excellence in supporting the needs of a diverse Canberra community and advocacy for mediation. The\u00a0<em>ADR Student of the Year\u00a0<\/em>was awarded to Isabella Gillam. Isabella has consistently demonstrated her passion for ADR throughout her University degree and leads an increasingly large cohort of high-performing students that shine as Australia\u2019s up-and-coming ADR practitioners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During 2021, and despite the lockdowns, ADR practitioners continued to revolutionise their practices in response to the ever-changing global landscape. Gloria Hawke from\u00a0<em>The Mediation Collective<\/em>, used her theoretical knowledge and clinical experience in her Family Dispute Resolution practice to enhance her expertise and level of care to assist families during the anxieties of COVID-19, taking out\u00a0<em>the Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner of the Year Award<\/em>.\u00a0 The Queensland Department of Education were winners of the\u00a0<em>ADR Innovation of the Year Award.\u00a0<\/em>They<em>\u00a0<\/em>sought to support school principals on the front line of delivering education services through their Principal Complex Matters Referral Team and skills training initiative at a significant time of transition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In congratulating all ADR Award finalists, the Australian Disputes Centre\u2019s CEO, Deborah Lockhart, recognised the enormous breadth and depth of Australia\u2019s ADR expertise.\u00a0\u201cThere is no shortage of skills, enthusiasm, and innovation among Australia\u2019s ADR practitioners. In an ever-expanding and evolving field, the ADR community is excited to celebrate the novel contributions made, and the depth of expertise demonstrated, by our dispute resolution professionals. We congratulate all finalists and winners in these 2021 Australian ADR Awards\u201d said Ms Lockhart.<\/p>\n<\/div><div
