RFP: Community Mediation Webinar Series

NAFCM is pleased to request a second round of proposals for its Community Mediation Webinar Series. We're seeking interesting programs, personalities, resources, and research to highlight amongst community mediation administrators and volunteers.

Initiated earlier this year, the Webinar Series has already offered nine educational events for program administrators throughout the U.S. and Canada. Now, we're seeking even more ideas to populate and continue building the Series.

• Do you have a new or interesting program you'd like to highlight?
• Do you have a personal or staff expertise you'd like to share with colleagues?
• Do you know of a resource colleagues should also know about?
• Are you a researcher with recent or upcoming work you'd like featured?

Whether one of the above applies to you, or you simply have a great webinar topic in mind, we want to hear from you!

Read the complete RFP and submit your topic ideas online. Both solo and collaborative presentations are invited! Act fast, the proposal deadline for this current round is August 15th.
