Our goals will be accomplished through:

• The provision of direct services – projects are already underway in which the Institute is providing neutral services in Facilitation and Mediation in a variety of settings.
• Building the field – the Institute will develop a list of public policy facilitators and mediators to whom projects can be outsourced.  It is the intention of the Institute to provide quality training and mentoring opportunities for those individuals desiring placement on its roster of practitioners.
• Research (theory to practice) – this goal is accomplished through partnerships with universities and other institutions dedicated to the fields of public policy and conflict avoidance/resolution.  The Institute has worked with student researchers serving as interns.  If you are a student and would like to inquire about intern opportunities, contact the Director.
