A Warm Welcome to RSI’s New CEO, Heather Fogg
Resolution Systems Institute (RSI) is pleased to welcome Heather Fogg as our new Chief Executive Officer as of June 17. Heather’s hiring followed an exhaustive nationwide search, a rigorous application and interview process, and unanimous approval by RSI’s Board of Directors.
Heather comes to RSI with an extensive background in court-connected ADR and research. Her expertise includes directing court mediator excellence programs; managing a state court’s ADR data collection tool; and designing and delivering restorative justice practices across a diverse range of sectors. Heather has guided the evaluation, design and data analysis of grant-funded ADR programs; coordinated workshops and training sessions for court ADR program managers, mediation trainers and mediators; and led and mentored scores of researchers and ADR practitioners. For the past three years, Heather has been a Training and Capacity Building Restorative Justice Practitioner at Restorative Justice Project Maine.
“I feel thrilled and overjoyed to join RSI and help guide us through our next chapters,” Heather said. “RSI has an unmatched reputation of excellence in court ADR, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to bring all of my skills to bear on serving the goal of making court-connected ADR as accessible and effective as possible for parties and courts with the least resources.”
Susan M. Yates will remain at RSI as Outgoing Executive Director through July 12 to help support a smooth leadership transition.
