Training “FADRC” offers
a one to two-hour mediation awareness seminar, basic mediation training, advanced mediation training and training
seminars in ADR and ADR technique, as well as mentoring assistance
in exporting the “FADRC” model to other areas. Several of the
Council’s members have traveled across the country to train various
groups in the use and advocacy of Alternative Dispute Resolution.
“FADRC” also trains employees to become mediators. These pro bono
services make ADR readily available and affordable to the local
federal community. Training capabilities enable member Agencies to
take advantage of “FADRC” as a non-traditional vendor and realize
cost savings on mediation and conflict management training, thus,
allowing Agencies to redistribute cost savings into more effective
uses. The only requirement for requesting a pro bono mediator is a
federal nexus within the dispute.
A person chosen by the participant agency to be the contact between
the agency and the “FADRC” arranges mediation services. When the
request for mediation has been accepted a designated “FADRC” member
first considers the nature of the dispute and the characteristics of
the disputants (e.g., rand and gender), and then selects two members
of the council best suited for the mediation team. The “FADRC” uses
the co-mediation model (two mediators working tandem on each case.)
The disputants and mediators agree on a mutually acceptable site and
time for the mediation to take place. When appropriate, an official
of the disputants’ agency, identified during the intake process, who
has authority to approve the terms of a resolution is present at the
mediation.

Message from the
President
"The
Council has trained mediators across the nation and locally. In
addition we have exported our model for pro bono shared neutrals to
other federal communities across the Southeast. We offer several
levels of affordable training opportunities -- from two-hour
“awareness” seminars to complete 40-hour Basic Mediation training.
For trained mediators we often provide advanced skill-building and
training opportunities. Let us be your trainer of choice."
- Linda George, Small Business Administration,
FADRC President
