Within a few months we were asked to provide conflict resolution for a successful business impacting a neighborhood.  The room was packed with over 125 people, we helped them identify issues, pick representatives and work through their differing opinions.  They were successful.

We've grown from there.  We provide conflict resolution, mediation, facilitation, training, and much more for municipalities, nonprofits, state agencies, and private companies.

CMC is committed to "Helping People Talk to People" in ways that encourage people in conflict to talk, listen and reach a cooperative resolution, resulting in establishing an environment of trust and respect.

CMC's is -

• Effective.  Providing positive and lasting solutions because people involved and affected by the conflict are those who create and agree upon the resolution.  They care, because they have buy-in and commitment to the solution they worked to find.

• Objective.  CMC's mediators don't take sides, advocate for, make decisions for, or represent any of the people at the table.  We're the objective, neutral, nonprofit, third party you call when you're caught in conflict.

• Confidential.  All those involved agree to a level of confidentiality required to create the "safe place" so necessary for working from positions to issues, and then on to options and outcomes.

• Voluntary.  You're there because you choose to be.

• Efficient.  CMC can help you save time, money and energy working directly together to find your own solutions.

• Beneficial.  We'll help you stay focused on problem solving, expectations, communication and what it takes to resolve the conflict.

• Professional.  CMC's mediators all have training, an internship, mentoring and ongoing evaluation.  They're good!

CMC mediates -

• Land use issues.  We work regularly with developers & neighborhoods, complex infill, historic preservation, and many other challenging project opportunities.

• Workgroup disputes. CMC mediates with teams and workgroups in conflict, large or small.  We do this in a confidential and forthright manner focusing on issues and finding resolution.  We'll help you stop the unresolved conflict productivity drain.  

• Citizen-Police complaints. We're a national leader in providing mediation for citizen complaints against the police, resulting in the best satisfaction rates in the country.

• Groups. We facilitate complex taskforce groups, neighborhood association conflicts, planning sessions, and other multi-party situations.

• Community conflict.  Maybe it is two neighbors fighting over barking dogs, loud stereo's or parked cars.  Maybe it is a block of unhappy people, a homeowner association, or community.  We'll mediate it!

• Training. We provide training which ranges from a full 40-hour mediation training, 4-hour leadership modules, or brown bag lunch-and-learns.
