Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING CONFLICT RESOLUTION WEEK for the purpose of expressing the County Council’s support for proclaiming October 12-16, 2015 as Conflict Resolution Week in Prince George’s County.

Background

Conflict Resolution Day was conceived in 2005 by the Association for Conflict Resolution to promote awareness of mediation, arbitration, conciliation and other creative, peaceful means of resolving conflict; promote the use of conflict resolution in schools, families, businesses, communities, governments and the legal system; recognize the significant contributions of (peaceful) conflict resolvers; and obtain national synergy by having celebrations happen across the country and around the world on the same day.  This resolution expresses the Council’s support for proclaiming October 12-16, 2015 as Conflict Resolution Week in Prince George’s County.
