CPSP continues to be in conversation with the ACPE as both sides continue to work together to implement the Joint Mediation agreement reached on November 30th, 2010. The mediation agreement stipulates that each organization will refrain from misrepresentations or disparagements of the other.
The CPSP Mediation Committee consists of Perry Miller, George Hull, Jim Gebhart, and Raymond Lawrence. Jim Gebhart was appointed chair of a mediation team to meet on a continuing basis with its ACPE counterparts in an effort to implement the Mediation Agreement. Annari Griesel and John deVelder are members of that team. The implementation team has been in dialogue with its ACPE correspondents during the past several months. They have processed six complaints about violations of the agreement by ACPE persons. The complaints have been processed or are in process currently.
There have been no identified complaints about CPSP behavior. We urge all members of the CPSP community to continue to abide by the terms of the Mediation Agreement and to refrain from any disparagement or misrepresentation of ACPE programs. At the same time, we urge persons in both communities to report without delay to the Mediation Team any incidents that may represent disparagement or misrepresentation of either organization. We anticipate that such reporting will eventually result in mutual respect between ACPE and CPSP.
