Offered by the Commercial Section of the Association for Conflict Resolution, this 1-hour Free webinar will take place Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 3:00 pm EDT. 1 – BRIEF DESCRIPTION Consumers and citizens increasingly rely on reputation systems to make many big life decisions, ranging from: “where should I get dinner?” to “where should I live?” or perhaps, “where should I send my kid to school?” or “which doctor is best at angioplasty?” We put a lot of trust into these reviews from strangers. But inaccuracies and fraud can arise in these systems, and these inaccuracies can result in disagreements. Timely resolution of these disagreements is essential to the continued health and success of any reputation system. 2 – PRESENTERS Colin Rule, Founder, Chief Operating Officer, Modria, Inc.

Michael Lang is a professional mediator and co-author of a book titled The Making of a Mediator: Developing Artistry in Practice. He recently participated in a video conference with mediators Roberta Lee-Driscoll, Susan Terry, and yours truly that illustrates how our beliefs and values influence our decisions when we mediate. In particular, Michael and Susan helped Roberta and me (we are both volunteer mediators for the Mediation Center of the Pacific) reflect on why our (very) different styles mediating TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) cases at the Honolulu District Court can produce similar results.

Hawaii’s elderly population is growing faster than the national rate. From 1990 to 2012, the number of people aged 75 and older increased 47% nationally but 116% in Hawaii – more than twice the national rate. In the next 20 years, one-third of Hawaii’s population will be over age 60. The average person in Hawaii lives to be 82 years old. Families often need to make decision about sensitive issues of elder care and disagreements may arise. To help elders and their families address these issues, the Mediation Center of the Pacific has developed the Kupuna Pono Program that offers mediation and family conferencing processes. Through these processes, elders and their families are assisted in talking through sensitive issues and creating family plans that meet the unique needs of the elder and other family members. Sponsored by the Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution, this 1-hour Free forum and brown bag lunch is presented by Tracey Wiltgen, MCP Executive Director. When: Thursday, August 7, 2014 – Noon to 1:00pm Where: Aliiolani Hale, 417 South King Street – Multi-purpose Room AHMPR101 – Honolulu.
