The mission of the Dispute Resolution Committee is to promote dispute resolution in licensing, by, inter alia, promoting networking among its members, sponsoring appropriate educational activities such as workshops, lectures, and seminars and identifying and collaborating on problem areas of concern to, and major new developments in, this profession.

The goals of the Dispute Resolution Committee for 2011-2012 include the following:

• Develop with assistance from the LESI External Relations Committee an Outreach strategy for contacting and collaborating with relevant professional and business organizations who have licensing/technology transfer as part of their agenda that use dispute resolution
• Coordinate with the LESI External Relations Committee to identify relevant target professional organizations who have licensing/technology transfer as part of their agenda that use dispute resolution and to implement the Outreach strategy to make and maintain contact with them and to collaborate on activities with them
