Introducing Keynote Speaker Laurel Singer: The Journey Forward in a Changing Landscape

October 6, 2017 by ormediate

OMA is pleased to announce the 2017 Conference plenary speaker, Laurel Singer.

When backpacking, a successful journey requires the ability to constantly adapt to changing conditions and circumstances. A mapped section of trail may have washed out, the river is too high to cross safely, or a cloudy sky has turned dark and menacing. These slow or sudden shifts require honestly appraising the current state of the situation, taking stock of the resources on hand, and using them to chart the best path forward.

As a mediation community, this conference presents an opportunity to come together to consider our collective journey at this crossroads in time. Keynote speaker Laurel Singer will share her perspectives and facilitate discussion designed to help our community articulate the new and shifting conditions we find ourselves operating within in “Today’s America,” to take stock of the challenges posed to us as mediators, to consider the unique tools we have on hand, and to imagine the possibilities for our continued journey forward.

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.
