ACR-GNY promotes learning and dialogue within the ADR community. This Commercial & Employment Practice Group has been meeting since 2019. It meets the 4th Monday of every month from 6pm to 7:15pm on Zoom. The Practice Group is a confidential space where mediators can come together to share puzzling moments and give each other honest feedback.

March's guest facilitator will be JoAn Pangilinan-Taylor, Vice President of Mediation & Training of Community Mediation Services (CMS)

March’s Topic: Navigating Biased Talk in Mediation

The intrusion of bias talk in mediation has often left mediators struggling with the questions: “What do I do with this? and “What is the right thing to do with this”? JoAn will facilitate conversation with fellow mediators on our experiences and challenges with bias talk in mediation and how we navigate support to the parties given our impartial role in the process.
