Montana Mediation Assoc. Annual Meeting

March 13, 2013 — The Montana Mediation Association Annual Meeting is going to be held in Bozeman, May 16-17, 2013, at the Holiday Inn.

On Thursday, May 16 there will be a one-day workshop presented by John Kinyon, a founder of Mediate Your Life, a worldwide mediation training program that teaches the goal is not to merely reach agreement in mediation, but to truly meet people's needs — including yours as the mediator. This workshop will teach skills that will benefit mediators, as well as educators and counselors-anyone who deals with conflict and goes into the mediator role, either formally or informally.

On Friday, May 17 the Montana Mediation Association will conference at the Holiday Inn. John Kinyon will present a Keynote address and seminar for the conference attendees. There will be a luncheon and business meeting. In the afternoon there will be an opportunity to attend three seminars, from a choice of six covering family, school and general mediation topics.
