About the Chapter
Southeast Michigan ADR practitioners have convened in an effort to bring the principles, resources and expertise of ACR to local Michigan residents by establishing a Michigan - Southeast Chapter for ACR. The Southeast Michigan chapter of ACR enables ACR members to get involved with other practitioners in their local communities and provide opportunities for local meetings and projects. The local chapter provides a unique opportunity for members to meet face-to-face and attend programs and activities that support their professional development. Within the chapters, conflict resolution professionals share ideas and practices, making valuable networking connections throughout their area.
