NEW OMA Roundtable — Thursdays on Zoom

April 20, 2020 by ormediate

Join your peers via Zoom, starting in April at OMA’s Roundtable.  These Thursday Roundtable meetings will provide an opportunity to connect socially, and learn from each other during this unusual time.

Advance your skills, meet your peers, and learn more about different types of mediation, while you practice participating with others on Zoom. Roundtable discussions will be expertly led by those in our community who have interesting things to share. Topics to be discussed on upcoming Thursdays include Mediating on the Edge, Zoom Mediation: Possibilities and Pitfalls, and How to Create a Profitable Mediation Practice.  

While the format may change some from week to week, the goal is always to spark dialog. If you are interested in being a facilitator for a future week, please send a paragraph describing the discussion you’d like to facilitate and a bio to OMA@ormediation.org.  If you have a topic you would like to see discussed, let us know.

When:   Thursdays @ 4:00pm-5:30pm and several Thursdays each month moving forward in 2020.

What:   OMA Roundtable — a weekly facilitated forum for OMA members and select guests.

Who:  Upcoming Thursday OMA Roundtable facilitators include Donna Silverberg, Molly Keating, Randy Kinnison and Tsipora Dimant to start.

Location:  Zoom Meeting 

Charge:  Free for OMA members

Registration: Email: OMA@ORmediation.org to receive a Zoom Meeting invite for a specific Thursday Roundtable.

The Oregon Mediation Association

Welcome to OMA

Conflict is a natural part of life. Managed correctly, conflict can positively transform lives and relationships. Mediators are trained to understand the source of conflicts and identify a path away from adversarial positions toward positive growth and change. Mediators create a safe space to have difficult conversations. The Oregon Mediation Association works to build greater awareness of mediation as a useful conflict management tool.

OMA in a Nutshell

OMA is a network of over 350 mediators and supporters of mediation who are committed to the development, support and advocacy of mediation in Oregon.

Mission

OMA's mission is to help Oregonians transform the way they confront and resolve conflict in their personal lives and in their communities.
