Virginia’s Administrative Dispute Resolution Act (VADRA or the Act) requires each agency head to appoint an employee to serve as the agency's Dispute Resolution Coordinator (DRC). Agency DRCs should be mid-to-high level leaders familiar with the agency's overall operations and potential uses of ADR and collaborative practices. Other qualifications include strong project planning and implementation skills, creativity, and the ability to work collaboratively. DRCs are responsible for leading the implementation of the Act at the agency level.
The Interagency ADR Advisory Council is composed of: two DRCs from each Secretariat, appointed by each Cabinet Secretary from the pool of DRCs in his or her reporting agencies; three private sector members appointed by the Governor; the Director of the Department of Employment Dispute Resolution; and as Chair, the Secretary of Administration. The Council provides guidance and training to agencies in the use of collaborative practices and ADR; reports to the Governor and the General Assembly on the use of ADR in state agencies; and is charged with recommending changes in the law where warranted.
