 Past Participants Have Said...

"It is one of the most worthwhile programs I have attended in the nearly 40 years i have been in this business".

"The Faculty are excellent, and the opportunity for advocates and mediators to interact in small facilitated groups made this and exceptional and valuable program for mediators and advocates alike."

"The Institute delivered engaging, knowledgeable and informative panelists, moderators and participants.  The participants represented a wide range of experience yet the group was kept small enough to allow for useful conversations and sessions,  It was a very constructive and productive use of two days and i would certainly do it again."
