TVMA
Mission Statement
The Tennessee Valley Mediation Association has two distinct missions: to
foster high quality mediation and to promote mediation as an alternative
dispute resolution process. TVMA is an inclusive organization that welcomes
all supporters of mediation and alternative dispute resolution practices.
TVMA Defined
The organization is made up of an eclectic group of nonlawyer and lawyer
mediators who are involved in diverse organizations and desire collaboration
to achieve each organizations’ goals and meet the needs of each by using the
skills and tools of mediation / conflict resolution practices.
To accomplish this multi-dimensional mission:
The TVMA will host monthly hour long presentations from September through
May on particular mediation subjects, including peer reviews of actual cases
and Simulation Saturdays (see Sim Sat. mission statement) where cases will
be role played and discussed. Continuing Education credit will be available
for each program as appropriate under the guidelines of the CLE Commission.
The TVMA is committed to hosting events that profile mediation and conflict
resolution practices and increasing public awareness through these events,
as well as sponsoring a Speaker’s Bureau. The Speaker’s Bureau will be made
up of members trained in using a powerpoint presentation created by fellow
mediators for presentations to a variety of community groups and
organizations. The events may be workshops for Continuing Education credits
in conflict resolution and / or events to celebrate mediation and community
mediators. |
