Welcome to CRI. <br>

<img src="../graphics/photos/billSmCRI.jpg" alt="Bill Lincoln" name="billSmCRI" width="102" height="155" hspace="2" vspace="2" border="0" align="right">As a non-profit institution since 1991 we have been assisting people, organizations
and nations to resolve their differences and create practical agreements rooted
in the most pressing issues of our time. Our primary areas of focus are environmental
and natural resource management, human rights, and international relations. In
doing our work, we further advance the theories and practices of collaborative
planning and cooperative problem solving at community, national and international
levels.<br>
<img src="../graphics/spacer.gif" width="3" height="12"><br>
Our goal is to ensure civility and equity in resolution through
our assessments, trainings and interventions. CRI’s approach and method has proven to be
successful in teaching individuals and groups how to develop durable agreements
in diverse situations — from the community, to public and private sectors
to complex international political scenarios. Our pro-active approach and current
involvements help prevent crises within and between communities; help prevent
war within and between nations; and are effective in enabling others to do the
same — this is how we live our mission.<br>
<img src="../graphics/spacer.gif" width="3" height="12"><br>
In addition to direct involvements with client groups, CRI emphasizes working
partnerships with colleagues, Non-Governmental Organizations, and academic institutions
within and beyond our nation.<br>
<img src="../graphics/spacer.gif" width="3" height="12"><br>
In the simplest terms, what we do is help people find ways to get along better — an
ancient yet thoroughly modern challenge that must be met in order that we all
may live in a safe, just and caring world.<br>
