This training was provided by the Columbus Area Labor-Management Committee (CALMC), a non-profit organization that promotes the development of high-performance organizations through joint participation of labor and management. Through this training process, the committee developed the following mission statement:

To continuously improve ODNR labor-management relationships, the ODNR Labor-Management Team jointly utilizes problem-solving techniques to creatively resolve issues, provide direction, and promote a high quality work environment for all employees.
