About the Program

In 2012 the 25th Annual Professional Skills Program drew over 280 participants from 28 states and 6 foreign countries. Register early for 2013 as some courses will sell out.

Featuring a panel of nationally recognized experts in dispute resolution, this comprehensive program provides three days of unique educational opportunities for practicing professionals. Participants will network with nationally prominent faculty, as well as participants from the other specialties at plenary sessions, lunches, and receptions. Early enrollment is recommended since many of the sessions fully subscribe. Contact Lori Rushford at (310) 506-6342 or e-mail to enroll or to request a brochure.

Participants select the process in which they desire expertise (one course only), as all programs will be presented simultaneously. To provide for personalized instruction, enrollment for each course is limited to ensure a close working relationship among the faculty and participants. Course sessions will include lectures, small group discussions, and practice exercises. Faculty and other participants will also provide performance coaching. The synergy of ideas will provide a truly unique learning experience.

COURSES AVAILABLE -  (Participants choose one course only to attend for the program) 

 

Registration Fee
The registration fee, including meals and materials, is $1,295.  Registrations received by Friday, May 10, 2013, receive a $100 discount. Early registration discount does NOT apply to the governmental or nonprofit rate.  A reduced rate of $895 is available for employees of governmental and nonprofit organizations.  Some of the classes will close early due to classroom space limitations.  You will receive notification that you have a space in the course.  Payment will be due in order to hold your space.
