First Class Graduates from Mediator Training
The first class of CEPP mediators have
completed a thirty-hour training course in mediation techniques for construction
industry disputes. The intensive four-day course included alternate dispute
resolution techniques, listening skills, mediation skills and seven role-playing
exercises. The training was done by instructors from Mediation Works, Inc.,
Boston. The 13 mediators included nine Engineers, and one each Architect,
Contractor, Attorney and Association Executive.
"I've been to hundreds of seminars.
Never have I learned so much as in this one,” stated Jim Lawler, Architect,
“It's the best I've seen."
The training program is sponsored by the CEPP
Coalition for Construction Industry Dispute Resolution founded last year by CEPP
members Lois Roberts and Ken Gibble. The Coalition was created to provide
knowledgeable mediators for the construction industry. The new mediators will
begin honing their skills by mediating small disputes and may participate in
larger dispute resolutions with more experienced mediators.
