These programs free courts to focus on cases that require judicial attention, while enabling disputing parties to reach resolutions faster, at a lower cost and in a more satisfying manner. Services vary by program, but typically include reaching out to mediation proponents, providing expert guidance for stakeholder meetings, drafting or refining court rules, providing sample forms, and designing program monitoring systems. In some programs, RSI also provides specialized training of neutrals, on-site program administration, and monitoring and evaluation services. RSI partners with courts, attorneys, mediators and other community members to develop mediation programs for major civil litigation, including foreclosure; small claims, including landlord/tenant; family, including child custody and financial issues; child protection; and criminal and juvenile cases. RSI is currently conducting foreclosure mediation programs in four Illinois counties: Kane, Lake, Winnebago and Boone. RSI is also conducting a child protection mediation in Kane County. 46243 Resource Center - Aboutrsi.org/Resource-Center is RSI's national resource center, the most comprehensive and respected source of information on court ADR. Highlights of Aboutrsi.org/Resource-Center include a searchable database with abstracts of more than 5,000 court ADR resources, instructions on developing and evaluating court ADR programs, and a compendium of court ADR resources from every state across the nation. RSI staff members also respond personally to inquiries from around the globe on court ADR topics. 249649 Research - RSI conducts independent research projects about the provision of quality ADR services and best practices in state and federal courts. RSI also designs and monitors and evaluates systems for court mediation throughout Illinois. This includes creating mediator reports and attorney and party evaluation surveys, as well as developing database systems to collect program information and reports to turn the data into actionable information. RSI has worked with civil, small claims, foreclosure and child custody mediation programs, as well as a juvenile restorative justice program. Researching how courts currently use ADR is essential in identifying best practices and creating program models. These are used to inspire and guide new program development, as well as improve existing programs. 90487 3501 Outreach and Education - RSI educates about ADR and advocates for court ADR to be conducted in an effective, efficient manner that is satisfying to participants. To further this goal, RSI uses a variety of outreach methods. From writing articles to publishing studies and co-editing entire books, RSI seeks to improve the quality of court ADR through an array of targeted publications. In addition, RSI staff members speak regularly to bar associations, mediation groups, and other interested audiences, about current issues in ADR such as mediation ethics, evaluating court ADR programs, and mediator quality. 90487 3501 625497 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 IL X Kiasha Henry 2242000755 11 E Adams Street 500 Chicago IL 60603 Brian Roche President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Nancy A Wesh Vice President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Mitchell Marinello Secretary 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Terry Moritz Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Honorable Morton Denlow ret Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Oladeji Tiamiyu Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Professor Alyson Carrel Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Professor James J Alfini Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Raven Moore Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Yates Executive Director 35.00 X 68808 0 369 Heather Fogg CEO 35.00 X 56083 0 32 124891 0 401 0 0 0 0 0 23030 687844 710874 85 85 Miscellaneous 900099 3501 3501 3501 714460 3501 0 85 125292 97947 23557 3788 448175 345526 88943 13706 3168 2610 467 91 63743 52532 9372 1839 47526 39154 7000 1372 8393 3401 4992 30794 12477 18317 4836 3529 1254 53 25898 22579 3319 17406 9888 7131 387 21622 14849 6773 16665 14506 2159 11818 1347 10471 Dues & subscriptions 5338 5023 315 Miscellaneous 1206 129 1062 15 831880 625497 185132 21251 487989 412626 51359 39331 57418 11908 9230 152358 138339 29027 14019 3166 3166 622780 496459 23374 16495 12759 10737 36133 27232 X 522647 405227 64000 64000 586647 469227 622780 496459 -117420 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 560041 866450 772263 823523 710874 3733151 560041 866450 772263 823523 710874 3733151 1205177 2527974 255 164 160 558 85 1222 1167 2118 3501 6786 3741159 0.67570 0.65590 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 152358 138339 14019 14019 Accrued vacation 10737 10737 X 714460 0 714460 0 714460 831880 0 831880 0 831880 Part X, Line 2: FIN 48 Note from Audited Financial Statements RSI was granted an exemption from federal income tax by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).
