ACR-GNY 2022 Annual Virtual Conference
Presented by the Association for Conflict Resolution Greater New York Chapter
JAMS is a proud sponsor of the 2022 ACR-GNY Annual Virtual Conference on the theme of: People | Practice: The Many Faces of Conflict Resolution
Our physical, mental, and social wellbeing rely on our ability to be resilient and comfortable with conflict. Our quality of life can be improved by conflict resolution best practices; these practices are best when informed by our culture and diversity. At this year's virtual conference, ACR-GNY will explore the different ways conflict resolution is practiced, following the paths essential to our communities and exploring how our different cultures help to empower the process.
The 2022 Conference is ACR-GNY's third virtual conference, making it accessible for attendees from all over the world to participate. Expand your network of conflict resolution professionals and volunteers across the Greater New York Region and far beyond!
