Invitation
The next round of Board recruitment will take place in 2023/24.
The International Mediation Institute (IMI) is a user-driven public-interest charitable foundation registered in The Hague in 2007. It operates globally with a mission to promote mediation as a means of resolving disputes and forging deals. IMI continues to break new ground by establishing standards for mediators in mediation and driving that field of practice into an independent profession on an international scale. IMI is not an ADR provider and advocates the interests of users.
IMI Board and Executive team are located across the world and represent key stakeholders in the dispute resolution field including users, advisers, dispute resolution service providers. International thought leaders, adjudicators and policy-makers are represented in our Committees, Taskforces, and Expert Network.
IMI seeks proactive leaders to join the IMI spearheading its global mission in dispute resolution and deal making. Board members are positioned to:
- lead 21st Century dispute management and resolution globally in all fields –
business, Investor-State, inter-Governmental and Family/Community. - integrate dispute management and resolution best practices in developing markets.
- shape dispute management and resolution policies and laws.
- articulate the needs of users.
- make a difference in and demonstrate commitment to the field.
Location of Board members is immaterial although IMI strives for diversity of voice and region. The term of office is 4 years with an opportunity to apply for one more term of 4 years. One IMI Annual face- to- face Board meeting is held in different locations usually at the end of May. Regular Board conference calls and selected group work happens during the year. Board members are not remunerated.
The Board role appeals to self-motivated, visionary, hands-on, inspiring leaders with an eclectic experience in managing negotiations and disputes successfully. The Board role is for passionate and conscientious leaders, skilled and seasoned negotiators and presenters, who have a strong user/dispute orientation and wide global experience in business, government or professional services.
Board members must be willing to invest their time and expertise in implementing the mission of IMI and building capacity for dispute resolution worldwide.
To apply, please contact imisupport@imimediation.org, including your motivation and a full CV (a link to a professional page such as your LinkedIn or IMI profile are also acceptable). As of August 2019, we are particularly interested in hearing from people who meet some or all of the following:
- From under-represented regions and particularly countries that have signed the Singapore Convention
- Fluent in English, to facilitate Board work and interaction
- Highly placed in government or with government officials associated with legislation that affects mediation
- Able to help IMI secure funding
- Willing and able to actively assist with ongoing Board work and as part of Board Committees, including providing support for operational matters
- Able to work easily with small groups
- Preferably C-suite level
- Female, from under-represented groups, LGBTQ, or otherwise enhance the diversity of IMI’s Board
