Featured Peacebuilding Group: Association for Conflict Resolution

Posted byDavid J. SmithPosted inConflict Resolution, Featured Peacebuilding Group, Peacebuilding, Youth EducationTags:,

For this week’s Featured Peacebuilding Group, I’m sharing about the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).  ACR is the largest association of conflict resolution professionals in the U.S.  I’ve been a member since the early 1990s.  Many of  the professional mediators working in the field today are members.   For newbies coming into the field, ACR is a great introduction.   ACR’s annual conference brings together conflict professionals across various sectors.  I’m a member of the Education, Research, and Training Section of ACR.  At the upcoming October conference in Pittsburgh, PA our section will sponsor a day of activities for local youth.
