When community members have conflicts, what do they do?  Call the Police.  Complain to the Mayor’s office. Go to see the Prosecutor. File a case in court. Not many call a mediator.  For community mediation programs, collaborations with key community organizations are one way to reach people in conflict.  In this workshop, The Dayton Mediation Center will share strategies and practices for building successful collaborations.

Learning objectives include:

• Explore ways organizations can collaborate to build synergy
• Learn strategies for building strong relationships with partners
• Understand ways to ensure collaborations last
