For forty years, our name has included the word program. It’s a perfectly
good word. We use program with this meaning: plan of action to achieve a
specific result. Starting when we became a program of the Edgartown Court
in 1984, and going forward to the present, the word “program” has been
there, indicating our plan to promote and provide mediation services, with
the mission of helping individuals and organizations to resolve their
conflicts amicably.
