Have you been looking for a chance to shop 'til you drop, while also supporting a good cause? Look no further! 🗓️ On Tuesday, June 30th, 2026 from 4-7 PM 🗓️ clothing store Veronica Beard will host an event where 15% of proceeds will be donated to CCR. The store is located at 900 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, and we look forward to seeing you there! Tell the fashionistas in your life to be there, or be jealous 😘

Pride can be a celebration, but it’s so much more! We are proud to put our words into action and be consistent in our efforts to make CCR a welcoming place for people across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. We strive to support residents of Cook County who seek mediation and legal aid services, regardless of gender and sexuality. As mediators, we see the massive impact that identity plays into both conflict and resolution processes, and work every day to build a more equitable world.

Please join us in welcoming Morgan Rosenberg to CCR's Board of Directors!

Over the past nineteen years, Morgan has volunteered as a mediator, trainer, coach, and member of the Peer Review Committee. Morgan was honored as CCR’s 2010 Peacemaker of the Year, but her work doesn’t stop with our organization; Morgan also serves as a mediator, arbitrator, and attorney advisor in Title IX matters. In addition, she teaches negotiation, client interviewing and counseling, and mediation advocacy at Loyola University Chicago School of Law and the Quinlan School of Business.

A lifelong student of negotiation and conflict resolution, Morgan began her formal study of the field at Emory University and has dedicated her career to helping individuals, teams, and organizations engage conflict constructively, strengthen relationships, and achieve better outcomes. She describes her husband and three sons as “some of her most challenging and rewarding negotiation partners” ;) If the past is any indication, we’re looking at a bright future with Morgan on the board!
