Description:
What have we learned from a generation spent implementing mediation in the United States? What lessons and opportunities emerge from our efforts to carry these lessons to other communities throughout the world? Perhaps most important, where do we as a mediation profession see ourselves in this moment and time and what impact can we have on our future. Come listen to one of our profession’s thought leaders reflect on these profoundly important questions and prepare to engage with your Mediation Society colleagues.
