A SPECIAL LETTER TO OUR MEMBERSHIP

Dear MCDR Members:  

We are in the process of developing the MCDR slate for 2008.  We seek people who want to raise their involvement to a new level by participating in our Board of Directors.  This is a great opportunity to network, work with other people who share common goals, and to advance the field.

MCDR Mission Statement

MCDR promotes and expands the use of the high quality Appropriate Dispute Resolution statewide by: 

·         Promoting ADR and consumer education/marketing

·         Setting standards of practice and certification of members

·         Strengthening education/skills of practitioners

·         Eliciting commitment of practitioners to the field

·         Being a resource to practitioner and community (support and      nurture)


MCDR Vision Statement

MCDR will change the way disputes are resolved in Maryland.  Our vision is a Maryland where all individuals use cooperative, non-adversarial approaches to resolve their disputes, a Maryland where cooperative, non-adversarial approaches to resolve conflict will be the first resort, not the last.  MCDR helps practitioners grapple successfully with three seemingly disparate aspects of individual development:  business, spiritual and professional.
