Description:

The Mediation Society will hold its next dinner on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, at the World Trade Club with no-host cocktails at 6:00 pm and dinner at 7:00 pm. Mayor Willie Brown, who has made headlines almost everyday as Mayor of San Francisco from 1996 until 2004, settling numerous public conflicts including the bitter BART strike of 2001, will be our speaker for the evening. Known for his dynamic and charismatic personality on the political stage, he served as a member of the California State Assembly from 1965 to 1995, fourteen years of which he was Speaker of the Assembly, the second-most powerful position in state government. Now retired from his official duties, Mayor Brown is called upon to use his unique skills to mediate many difficult disputes, both public and private. Join us for an evening with Mayor Brown as he shares with us his experiences as a mediator and deal maker par excellence.n
