Program service accomplishments:the american arbitration association ("aaa") has, for over ninety years, pioneered the effective use of arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Rather, it provides a forum for the hearing of disputes, tested rules and procedures that have broad acceptance and a roster of over 6,000 impartial arbitrators and mediators to hear and resolve cases. Recognized for their standing, expertise in their fields, and their dispute resolution skills, arbitrators and mediators are nominated to the association's national panel by leaders in their industry profession. Their conduct is guided by the codes of ethics, such as the code of ethics for arbitrators in commercial disputes, developed jointly by aaa and the american bar association. At year end 2017 the aaa, had 24 domestic offices and 3 international offices located in bahrain, mexico and singapore and 82 cooperative agreements with arbitral institutions, universities and chambers of commerce in 52 nations.
