ACCES-VR Mediation: Building the Foundation - This training will provide participants with a deeper understanding of ACCES-VR mediation, vocational rehabilitation dispute resolution, mediation best practices, ethical and inclusive facilitation, program procedures, and the role mediators play in supporting meaningful outcomes for participants and service providers. It is designed for both current and prospective ACCES-VR mediators.
It is with gratitude and a profound sense of honor that I accept the role of President & CEO of the Center for Dispute Settlement. Having served as CDS’s Director of Operations, I have seen firsthand the dedication of our staff, volunteers, mediators, and community partners—and the meaningful difference our services make throughout Greater Rochester.
We are excited to announce new roles leading our CDS Training Institute programming!
