ACR New York Seeks 2013 Conference Proposals

The Association for Conflict Resolution Greater New York Chapter is requesting proposals for its annual meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2013, at Cardozo Law School. In past years, many Ombuds have attended and presented at this conference. This year's conference theme will be ‘Mainstreaming Creative Conflict Resolution.’ This year's theme is meant to inspire a diverse and broad base of ADR professionals. Organizers want presenters to tell who, where and how ADR is coming into the mainstream of our culture.

The twelfth annual ACR-NY conference will be held at Cardozo Law School. The deadline for submitting proposals is February 11, 2012. (ACRNY Request.)

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
