🎉 DRBF Kicks off 30th Anniversary Year and Introduces New Logo

In 2026, the Dispute Resolution Board Foundation launches a year-long celebration of its 30th anniversary, marking three decades as the leading organization dedicated exclusively to Dispute Boards. The milestone year will feature special initiatives and activities that reflect the Foundation’s history, growth, and future direction.

The DRBF’s visual identity has evolved along with the organization. The first official logo launched in 2002. The DRBF decided to develop a new logo and tagline to highlight the essential elements of both dispute avoidance and resolution, and the DRBF’s global impact. A special 30th Anniversary logo will also be used during the year to commemorate this milestone.

The DRBF is grateful to its dedicated leadership and members whose ongoing support has shaped the organization over the past 30 years. The DRBF looks forward to celebrating this anniversary throughout 2026 and continuing to move projects forward in the years ahead.
