ACR-EPP Mid-Year Conference 2012
In conjunction with the ECR2012 Conference, the Association for Conflict Resolution Environment and Public
Policy Section (ACR EPP) will hold its annual mid-year conference on Monday, May 21, 2012 at the JW Marriott
Starr Pass. This conference is open to all and a separate registration fee will apply. Registration information
will be posted on the EPP Section website once available. The ACR EPP Section aims to support and enhance the
public policy and environmental conflict resolution (ECR) field as a whole and to create opportunities to improve
the skills of its members who are intervenors and trainers. ACR EPP Section members are active in environmental
and public policy dispute resolution in the U.S. and Canada. ACR EPP mid-year conferences provide opportunities for
participants to engage in action planning for the future of the ECR field, enhance their practical skills, and build
their professional network. Highlights from these conferences as well as other Section activities are reported to
EPP members throughout the year. Learn more about the EPP Section at www.acrepp.org.
