Engage in conversation with our guest speakers and fellow participants to discuss strategies for how new, young and diverse mediators can establish their practice. Please RSVP by Monday, November 12th to: adr@adrnc.net Light refreshments will be served. Given the current demographics of the mediation/ADR field, we recognize that young mediators and mediators of color have unique perspectives and can face particular challenges in pursuing their careers. Our hope is to address these challenges by creating networks of support within our Bay Area mediation community. This is the second in a series of ADRNC Diversity and Equity events which we hope you will attend and support!
