About Talk:

Mediation has been a growing field, art, and practice since its ambitious beginning in the early 70’s. And despite disagreements along the way among mediation practitioners, the legal profession, and others, regarding which approach is right, mediation has come a long way. From Court Programs, University Programs, Government Programs, and a continually growing cadre of private practitioners, mediation has evolved and made an impact on communities, courts, businesses, government, education and more. Tracey’s presentation will reflect on the positive advancements mediation has made locally and nationally, and the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.
