Don McIntyre, Chief Executive (Interim) of Ciarb comments, "The President of Ciarb serves as the organisation's foremost ambassador - advocating for the value of alternative dispute resolution, engaging global stakeholders, and inspiring a diverse community of members. Through strategic leadership, public representation, and a deep commitment to professional excellence, the President plays a vital role in shaping Ciarb’s global presence and advancing its mission.

At a time when the international landscape for dispute resolution is rapidly evolving, this role is more important than ever. The President represents not only the voice of our profession but also the values of integrity, inclusion, and innovation that define Ciarb. Whether addressing international institutions, collaborating with national chapters, or championing the interests of our members, the President is central to strengthening Ciarb’s influence and ensuring its relevance on the world stage."

The newly elected Deputy President and Vice-President will take up office with immediate effect. The Deputy President will assume office as President in 2026, and the Vice-President will assume office as President in 2027.

Thank you to everyone who nominated a candidate and thank you to our candidates.
