How to Become a Mediator

With Mattie Robertson, Esq.

How can mediation help artists? Is becoming a mediator right for me? The arts community has unique needs that are often not served by traditional legal processes. Mediation provides the opportunity for flexibility and creative solutions that better fit the needs of artists and those who work with them. Becoming a mediator can create new ways to assist your clients and the community. This workshop will focus on some basic conflict resolution skills, help you assess whether this path is right for you, and provide information on how to become a professional mediator.
