You’re invited to participate in the Oregon Mediation Association’s 32nd Annual Conference. This year’s conference offers a broad scope of relevant, professional-level conflict resolution presentations and workshops in different field-oriented tracks, as well as the opportunity to meet and engage with practitioners in the field.

Whether you are a mediator, attorney, social worker, human resources professional, student, educator, ADR practitioner, counselor, or someone who is interested in conflict management and resolution, you’ll find multiple interesting and useful activities that will enrich your knowledge and sense of community.

The 2018 OMA Conference will include:

  • 45- 90- and 180-minute professional-level workshops in field- and topic- specific tracks
  • Graduate research panel
  • Keynote presentations
  • Plenary luncheons

  • Student Scholarships
  • Vendor and informational space
  • Annual OMA membership meeting
  • ….and more!

Note: This year the Fall Conference will take place in the second week of November. The Conference Committee and Board decided to move the conference from its traditional 1st week of November due to scheduling conflicts with a home football game.

Help Support the Conference

The conference, and OMA’s on-going work, would not be possible without our generous sponsors. There are lots of ways you can get involved! You can become a sponsor or vendor at a wide range of levels from from Keynote Sponsors at $3000, to the Friday Reception Sponsors (the “Party Animals”), at $100. You can donate an item large or small for the silent auction. You can also donate to the scholarship funds to help make the conference accessible to students, or  if you live in the Eugene area, you can host a conference participant.

Whichever way you choose to support OMA, you can help us reach our combined goal of raising $15,000 in support of mediation in Oregon. Your donation will help raise money for this worthwhile effort and promote your organization or business. And, as a 501(c)3 organization, your donation may be tax-deductible. Find out more about how you can support the conference here.

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.
