2.3: Conveners & Facilitators

Engage independent conveners and facilitators.

Other Information:

Engaging independent conveners and facilitators -- The U.S. Institute will continue to help federal departments and agencies consider when it is appropriate to engage independent conveners and facilitators. A third-party convener can be essential to brokering participation, to bringing credibility to a process, and to building trust among stakeholders. The U.S. Institute frequently serves as an independent federal convener for multi-party high-conflict low-trust cases. In addition to convening services, the U.S. Institute also maintains a national roster of experienced facilitators and mediators. The roster is accessible online at http://ecr.gov/Resources/Resources.aspx. The U.S. Institute's roster services include referrals from the Native Dispute Resolution Network, a resource for identifying practitioners to assist in resolving environmental disputes and issues that involve Native people.
