Established
by the legislature in 1989, the Commission provides dispute resolution and conflict
management resources, training, and direct services to Ohio schools, communities,
courts, and state and local government. Its nationally and internationally recognized
programs and services result in quantifiable cost savings that lead to more effective
and efficient government.
The
overall goal of the Commission is to assist Ohioans in resolving disputes in the
most efficient way possible while reducing the chance of violence, building positive
relationships and helping disputants reach win-win situations. The Commission
has a staff of six and is governed by 12 volunteer commissioners.
