Airy after they received their degrees from Harvard.

Who We Are

The Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR) is a professional organization that enhances the practice and public understanding of conflict resolution.

We are the Delaware Valley Chapter of the nation’s largest professional association for mediators, arbitrators, educators and other conflict resolution practitioners. ACR works in a wide range of settings throughout the United States and around the world.

At ACR, you will find colleagues with similar skills and concerns, whether you are a:

* government employee working with the shared neutrals program,
* school educator teaching peer mediation,
* custody mediator in the court system,
* environmental mediator dealing with regulatory disputes,
* arbitrator dealing with corporate non-performance,
* public policy facilitator working with interagency conflict, or
* divorce mediator working with families, or more!

Our multicultural and multidisciplinary organization offers a broad umbrella under which all forms of dispute resolution practice find a home.
