Virginia Mediation Network 

2019 Annual Fall Conference

Empowering Ourselves for the Future

     The Virginia Mediation Network will convene its annual Fall Conference the weekend of September 28-29, 2019. The conference will be held at the University of Richmond’s Jepson Alumni Center.  

     As always, the Annual Conference is an opportunity for VMN members and nonmembers to network with each other, learn new information to enhance their mediation skills, and earn Continuing Mediation Education credits (CME’s) towards recertification.  The conference will provide workshop sessions related to family and general mediation topics, with a focus on empowering ourselves to be the best conflict resolution professionals we can be.  This year we are excited to welcome the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities Jacquie Johnson as our Keynote Speaker. 

      To see the entire Program Agenda planned for the weekend, please go to www.vamediation.org and click on the ‘Conferences’ Tab.  There you will find a complete program with a listing of workshops offered Saturday and Sunday. 

     We hope you will join the VMN Board at the Annual Business Meeting during the lunch hour.  The ‘Distinguished Mediator of the Year’ will be awarded to an individual in the mediation community that has shown personal and professional commitment to the advancement of conflict resolution throughout 2019.

      Also, remember to join the VMN Board at the networking cocktail reception hour at the end of the day, Saturday, from 5pm to 6pm.  Congratulate the ‘Distinguished Mediator of the Year’, catch up with old friends and colleagues and welcome new members to VMN.  A cocktail and selection of light hors d’oeuvres will be served for your enjoyment.

      We hope you enjoy the 2019 conference.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact VMN Administration, Jeanne Mann, at virginiamediationnetwork@gmail.com.
