    MAM's Summer 2026 Book Group

    All are invited to this no cost MAM event

    Two Meetings: July 16 and August 13

    4:00 - 5:30 pm.

    You can attend both dates or just one.

    It's summer and no pressure!  

    This is the book we will be reading together:   

    Getting to Resolution: Turning Conflict into Collaboration 

    by Stewart Levine

    Any edition of the book will do. You can buy the book on abebooks.com for under $7, including shipping.  It's also available on Amazon Kindle for $19.95, or you can order it from your local library. 

    Here is a short video by the author on the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN34CwThBXg


    Facilitated by Sharon McMahon Sawyer, J.D., LL.M. who recently retired from her position as Associate Professor of Justice Studies and Coordinator of the Mediation Certificate at the University of Maine at Augusta. She has taught mediation and conflict resolution courses over the past ten years and has mediated a wide range of conflicts, including intergenerational family disputes, consumer issues, and business relationships.

    Peace in the world starts with knowing ourselves and being open and curious about others.  This book offers simple (but not easy) steps to resolving intrapersonal conflict. I hope you attend both sessions to share your thoughts on the book with the group, but if you can't attend both, try to attend at least one session. I hope you can join us!

    How

    Conflict Resolution Day

    October 15, 2026

    12:00 - 1:30 pm

    All are invited to this Free MAM Community Event


    Big is the Tent? 

    Exploring the History and Evolution of “ADR”

    in Maine and Beyond

    In a field of various disciplines and multiple entry points, it’s easy to get lost in the terminology alone, much less the acronyms, abbreviations, permutations, and surrounding legal framework.  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.  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.  We welcome your wisdom and your curiosity to the conversation and hope to see you there!

    Zoom will open at 11:45 for networking and socializing. Zoom Link will follow for Registered Participants.
