Army's Ombuds Program for Soldiers Goes Online
The Center would like to acknowledge Dan Rainey, NCTDR Fellow and Director of the Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Services for the National Mediation Board, for his work and commitment to the Army Ombuds Program.
The US Army has unveiled a website for the Army Ombudsman Program in Support of Warriors in Transition. The Army Ombuds function as independent, impartial and neutral mediators for injured soldiers and family members who are in need of assistance in the resolution of problems encountered during their healing process. The Ombuds are contract employees who were selected for their experience, determination, and passion to help soldiers. About 60 Ombuds are employed at 32 locations in the United States, Puerto Rico and Germany. A unique aspect of the website is an online submission form that allows individuals to register complaints anonymously.

Ask a question to President-elect Obama
NCTDR is one of the sponsors of BigDialog.org a cross-partisan partnership of academics, bloggers, and e-communities. If you have a question you would like to ask President Obama, go to BigDialog.org. The eCitizen Foundation, along with its partners and supporters are asking people to pose questions and vote on which questions should be asked to Mr. Obama. The questioners behind the top three questions will be flown to MIT in mid-December to participate in a physical outgrowth of the forum. Additionally, the public will be asked to vote on Mr. Obama's replies, establishing a structural incentive for true dialog. In an age of alleged media bias, it is important that we are able to ask critical questions of our leaders without questioning those who ask the questions. This is a way to get the people's questions directly to their President.
