A Source for Mediators

The Department of the Air Force utilizes a sophisticated training and certification process to prepare Airmen and Guardians to deliver workplace mediation services as an additional duty. Some installations maintain their own cadre of trained and certified mediators. Level II and Level III certified mediators can even be available to assist installations that do not have their own cadre of mediators. 

In appropriate circumstances, the NDR Program can supply expert, professional mediators. Contact us to find out more about mediators who might help in complex situations, including workplace, acquisition, environmental, and legal matters.
