Established
by the legislature in 1989, the Commission provides dispute resolution
and conflict management resources, training, and direct services to
Ohio schools, communities, courts, and state and local government. Its
nationally and internationally recognized programs and services result
in quantifiable cost savings that lead to more effective and efficient
government.
The overall goal
of the Commission is to assist Ohioans in resolving disputes in the
most efficient way possible while reducing the chance of violence, building
positive relationships and helping disputants reach win-win situations.
The Commission has a staff of six and is governed by 12 volunteer commissioners.
