The Southern California Mediation Association is excited to host its 36th Annual Fall Conference at The Straus Institute at Pepperdine University in Malibu on Saturday, October 26, 2024. SCMA’s mission is to nurture, expand, and develop the practice, profession, and community of mediation. This year’s theme is “A Changing World: The Past, Present, and Future of Mediation.” This theme emphasizes skill-building for mediators to establish a solid foundation of professional competence and better navigate the shifting landscape of technological advancements. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with colleagues, share skills, techniques, and network to develop their practices both for profit and non-profit. This year’s conference festivities will include:
Don’t miss this opportunity for career development, skills advancement, and networking opportunities with some of the best in the field of alternative dispute resolution.
Each year the SCMA presents the Cloke-Millen Peacemaker Award to an individual or organization in the dispute resolution community who inspires us through their passion and dedication to peacemaking.
Each year SCMA presents the L. Randolph Lowry Award to a member of the dispute resolution community who has honored and inspired us through their passion and dedication to education in the field of dispute resolution.
