&lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 18px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;All are invited to this Free MAM Community Event&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In a field of various disciplines and multiple entry points, it’s easy to get lost in the term&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;inology alone, much less the acronyms, abbreviations, permutations, and surrounding legal framework.&amp;nbsp; This free event, hosted in celebration of Conflict Resolution Day, attempts to explain and simplify, while exploring the landscape of “alternative dispute resolution” from its origins to the present.&amp;nbsp; Special attention will be paid to expanding interest in restorative justice processes among MAM members and MAM’s interest in serving a growing variety of dispute resolution service providers, facilitators, and consensus builders.&amp;nbsp; We welcome your wisdom and your curiosity to the conversation and hope to see you there!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
