CDSC will hold its annual BASH to celebrate our Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and the work of the EASTIE Coalition on October 23, 2025, from 5:30pm to 6:30pm EST.

The Massachusetts Attorney General does crucial work that aligns with our organizational mission, supporting conflict resolution work across the state for example through Face-to-Face Mediation Programs and Local Consumer Programs. Staff at the office of the Attorney General regularly refer cases to us, and as an organization that prioritizes accessibility and affordability, we appreciate Attorney General Campbell's commitment to standing up for the most vulnerable throughout her career.

The EASTIE Coalition does crucial work to prevent and reduce substance misuse in East Boston, with an important focus on youth. We love their supportive, community-based approach and have worked with them as a workshop partner in the past and in organizing a listening session on community mediation in East Boston. For this year's BASH, we will be raising funds for our youth work, and we are thrilled to honor this fantastic organization.

Mediator House Party
June 13, 2012

Mediator House Party: CDSC had a wonderfully successful gathering to celebrate our pro bono Mediators and to thank them for their significant part in the success of FY2012. Our Executive Director, Gail Packer, provided a “state of the union” and shared details of our 3-year strategic plan. Special thanks to Steve Manos, CDSC’s Board President & Mediator, and his wife Barbara Rubel for hosting the event.
