Randall Butler is a highly trained expert at using peaceful conflict resolution to avoid potentially violent situations. In order to ameliorate cultural and societal violence Randall has dedicated his life's work to the belief that building a sustainable peace is possible and that conflicts can be overcome through collaborative interaction between hostile groups. Randall's work has transcended borders, languages, and historic cultural divides and has led to powerful breakthroughs for the individuals and groups involved.
Randall's expertise and accomplishments building rapprochement and progress stretch from communities in the Balkans, to the Sudan, to the United States. Under his careful supervision members of the warring Serbian and Croat communities have been able to resolve their historical enmity and emerged stronger for the experience. His efforts to guide members of the Sudanese Diaspora toward reconciliation have been a major step in easing hostilities and moving this group toward stability. Randall has also fostered productive dialogue between Jewish and Muslim communities in the United States, creating ripples in the struggle toward peace overseas. The cumulative effect of Randall's work is to reorder the way groups in conflict manage differences so they do not erupt into violence, bloodshed and chaos.
The process of building and maintaining a lasting peace between warring peoples requires the unique combination of training, education, and experience that Randall now brings to his role overseeing the Conflict Resolution practice at Outreach Strategists. Randall's previous work as a partner and litigator at Fulbright and Jaworski and Cook, Butler, Doyle has given him the necessary insights into the diplomatic process of arbitration. While his extensive background as an ambassador for and master practitioner of peaceful, non-violent dispute mediation led him to found the Institute for Sustainable Peace.
