Conference Debrief

by

Thanks to everybody who helped make the 2018 Conference a success!

By the numbers, this year we had 166 participants, including 57 students or volunteer mediators, and 55 participants for whom this was their first conference, and 24 scholarship  recipients! We hope everyone got a chance to learn, meet new people, and of course, have a good time.

In case you missed it, you can find  materials from workshops here. Want to help make the conference even better next year? We value your feedback. You can give feedback for workshops on Google Forms here (one workshop per form, please) and for the entire conference here. And, of course, planning is already underway for the 2019 conference at the Eliot Center in Portland, OR. The Fall Conference is put on by a volunteer committee — if you are interested in helping out next year, contact John Inglish (jinglish@uoregon.edu) or Tera Cleland (tera.cleland@greshamoregon.gov), the conference committee co-chairs.

Thanks again for a great year!

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.

Welcome to OMA

Conflict is a natural part of life. If managed correctly, conflict can help us transform our lives and our relationships. Mediators are trained to help us understand the source of our conflicts and identify a path away from adversarial positions and towards positive growth and change. Mediators create a safe space for us to talk about difficult topics and identify creative solutions to the challenges we face. The Oregon Mediation Association works to build greater awareness of mediation and promote it as a useful tool to manage and transform conflict in Oregon.
