The Mimi Grosser Scholarship Fund
For more than two decades, Mimi Grosser has been an invaluable player in the CDSC lineup and a real role model for at least two generations of CDSC volunteer mediators, interns and Board members.
In Mimi’s honor and in recognition of the extraordinary service of CDSC’s volunteers, we created a permanent fund in Mimi’s name in 2013 that honors exceptional CDSC volunteers and provides scholarship support for deserving participants in CDSC training and professional development programs.
The first winners of the Mimi Grosser Scholarship Fund Award were Judy Abrams and Harry Manasewich. Melissa Brodrick and Steve Lilly-Weber are the founding co-chairs of the Mimi Fund.
2013 Mimi Grosser Scholarship Fund Award: Harry Manasewich & Judy Abrams

In Memoriam: Helen Ladd
1924-2012
Our mediation community has just lost an extraordinary person with the passing of Helen Ladd, a shining star to so many of us. Helen was an outstanding mediator, combining her compassionate understanding with her social worker sensitivity. Helen was affiliated with the Community Dispute Settlement Center for the past 20 years. She enthusiastically and generously supported CDSC as a mediator, board member and most recently a member of the advisory board. In 2004, she received one of our first Community Peacemaker Awards.
