Now Accepting RFPs for the 2018 Fall Conference

May 2, 2018 by ormediate

Are you interested in presenting a workshop at the 2018 Fall Conference? The Conference Committee is now accepting proposals. This year’s conference, Navigating Conflict, seeks to take a broad view of mediation and conflict resolution, with similarly- themed workshops grouped into tracks. Whether your expertise is in community mediation, HR, peacebuilding, family, or many other topics, we want to hear from you. In addition to full workshops, this year we are planning on hosting a thesis panel for students. Students who are interested in presenting work should email the presentation coordinator directly.

Questions? Contact the OMA office at OMA@ORmediation.org.

The primary submission period is now closed. If you have an workshop you would like to be considered, please contact the presenter coordinator, John Inglish (jinglish@uoregon.edu) directly.

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.
