DBF Expansion
Expanding its dispute resolution affiliations and activity, the Dispute Board Federation has moved its offices in Singapore to new headquaters. This comes as a result of the addition of our Public Policy Centre on Conflict Resolution to Singapore causing us to need larger offices. The new address and telephone details are shown below.
Additionally we are pleased to announce the addition of a new member of staff. Mr Richard McGlade has joined the DBF as our new Membership Coordinator, and he will be responsible for all membership matters for the Federation. Richard's email address is r.mcglade@dbfederation.org and he can be reached through our offices in Geneva. .
One further item of news is that the DBF is currently in talks to open another office in the Balkans and is exploring both locations and opportunites for growth in the region.- more on this in next month's Newsletter
