Convergence Center for Policy Resolution

Convergence is a non-profit organization that employs dialogue and consensus-building to forge enduring solutions to important domestic and international issues where disagreement and division stand in the way of progress. Having generated successful projects on such issues as Re-imagining Education, US-Pakistan relations, Long Term Care Finance Collaborative, and Project on Nutrition and Wellness. Convergence's seasoned leadership has demonstrated that skillfully-conducted dialogue among diverse sectors of the interested public can create not-otherwise-possible solutions and powerful, unlikely alliances for action on key issues of the day.

Convergence catalyzes consensus-building projects by matching the skills of the nation's best dialogue practitioners to issues of great concern to the American public. We bring together diverse stakeholders who represent the major players as well as the less organized voices on an issue. We help these participants develop and implement breakthrough solutions, and in the process foster a culture of greater civility and respect in public discourse. We seek to create a sea change in the use of collaborative problem-solving approaches at all levels of society by catalyzing a critical mass of successful collaborative processes on issues of national concern. Our work reflects a return to an American tradition of pragmatic problem-solving through bringing people of differing views to a common table.
