About Mediation Settlement Day
Mediation Settlement Day (MSD) is a free annual event that celebrates the importance and value of conflict resolution for the greater New York community.
The event was first held in 2003, hosted by the New York State Unified Court System, FINRA and the NYC Bar Association, ADR Committee. ACR-GNY was proud to pick up the mantle in 2018 and continue this tradition.
Each year a theme is selected for MSD activities. ACR-GNY convenes members of the conflict resolution community for a conversation on the selected topic and to celebrate the new Frontline Champion Award honoree/s.
About the Frontline Champion Award
The ACR-GNY’s Frontline Champion award recognizes individuals who have made a meaningful impact on the field of mediation or helped others through their commitment to the effective practice of mediation. Frontline Champion honorees are named and celebrated at each year's Mediation Settlement Day event.
