In-person Events Postponed; Online Connections Expanded

The Nebraska Mediation Association takes the health and safety of our communities very seriously. Due to frequently changing circumstances related to COVID-19, we have decided to cancel all in-person events for the foreseeable future. When the situation is safe, we will re-open for in-person training and events. Until then, we're here for you through online events and training.
