Happy Holidays!

The upcoming holiday season reminds us to be thankful for the support we’ve received from our donors and the time our volunteer mediators have given to the Center throughout this year. We are proud to continue to serve the people of Brown and Manitowoc Counties in 2025.

On behalf of the staff and the Board of Directors of the Mediation Center of Greater Green Bay, we wish you the happiest of holidays.

Executive Director

Mediator Profile: David R. Sauvey

I was born in Algoma, WI, and grew up in the Bay Settlement and DePere areas.  I went to Abbot Pennings High School and graduated from Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Missouri, where I majored in political science.  I attended law school at the University of Missouri in Kansas City.

I have practiced law in Kansas City, Green Bay, and Evansville, IN, which included seven years as in-house litigation counsel for Scheider National, INC.  While there I created the Trucking Industry Defense Association in 1993 and ran the organization for ten years while also practicing law.

I have always been active in the church parishes to which I belonged, including singing in the choir, parish council, building committees, and fundraising events.  My hobbies include golf, biking, reading and travel.  My wife and I have played golf in 49 states.

Over the years, I have been involved with hundreds of mediations- everything from two-car crashes to million-dollar property damage claims.  Most civil cases are settled, not tried, and mediation can be a very useful tool in reaching those agreements.  Working with the Mediation Center is a way to help others while retired, and it gets me out of the house.
