"NADN did a marvelous job of putting together and executing an outstanding conference. The programs were different from what's available elsewhere - sessions were thought-provoking and inspring introspection. The accomodations were of the highest quality and our fellow colleagues were engaging. These programs cause me to rethink my approaches to common mediation issues, and I know will make me a better mediator."

Hon. Irma Raker, Bethesda, MD

"A million thanks in putting together a Retreat that was nothing less than spectacular in my view. I must tell you that I have not attended any other conference or training where I sat on the edge of my seat and hung on every word of the impressive panel of speakers. It was honestly so informative and entertaining, and I loved meeting and learning from so many impressive colleagues and participants."

"I highly recommend attending the NADN training retreats. The program was one of the best mediation trainings I have ever attended. The faculty were stellar – they were excellent communicators and each delivered very interactive and meaningful sessions.
