Happy Conflict Resolution Day

To all: Happy Conflict Resolution Day!

Please take a moment to reflect upon, and promote, the use of resolving conflicts in the legal system, businesses, schools, families, and communities.

Conflict Resolution Day Approaches

October 15 is Conflict Resolution Day, sponsored by an organization that I belong to and respect, the Association for Conflict Resolution. As Conflict Resolution Day approaches, a number of local ACR Chapters begin publicizing the day as well as local governmental units and agencies.

Here's the first article that I've come across, it's from the Maryland Gazette, announcing that Maryland's Judiciary's Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office is sponsoring a Conflict Resolution Day Student Bookmark Art Contest.

Congratulations to the Maryland Judiciary's Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office in kicking off Conflict Resolution Day, and what a great way to start--by inviting children to think about resolving their conflicts peaceably.

We'll keep posting on Conflict Resolution Day activities as they become available.

More on Conflict Resolution Day

Here's an excellent article from the Colorado Springs Gazette about Conflict Resolution Day. You can view my earlier blog about CRD here.

Conflict Resolution Day...

is October 16. Since I'm going to be out of town that day, I wanted to post an announcement about it now.

Conflict Resolution Day is an effort by the Association for Conflict Resolution to increase public awareness about conflict resolution and its many benefits. We'll be seeing governors, mayors, and other officials proclaiming October 16 as "Conflict Resolution Day." ACR also provides a lot of public education about conflict resolution.

This is a wonderful opportunity to think about destructive conflicts in our lives and resolve to do something positive about them.

Happy Conflict Resolution Day!
