Mediator Award
Mary
Parker Follett Award
The
Mary Parker Follett Award is presented to an
individual who has shown a passion and willingness
to take risks; is tackling a contemporary problem or
opportunity in the field of dispute resolution; has
used innovative and experimental techniques; and
draws upon the talents and ideas of all persons
involved. Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933) was an
early advocate of resolving conflict by encouraging
parties to integrate interests into negotiations.
During the mid-1920s, Follett shifted her focus from
community group processes to the field of business.
Business leaders sought her advice on how to manage
their enterprises, and she became a featured speaker
at national and international business conferences.
Her talks were drawn together and published
posthumously in the influential book Dynamic
Administration. Send nominations to the Mary
Parker Follett Award Committee Chair,

The
International Peacemaker Award

International Peacemaker Award acknowledges the
significant and sustained contributions by an
individual or organization to the cause of peace. At
its heart, the purpose of conflict resolution, and
the goal of ACR, is to bring peace to troubled
relationships, whether domestic, organizational,
environmental or international. This award
recognizes efforts to bring peace through various
conflict resolution approaches to ethnic, religious,
and civil conflicts that have raged outside United
States. The Peacemaker Award was instituted in 2001.
