Even if the conflict itself is inevitable, our approach to mitigating, managing and resolving it need not consume so much time and energy. Learn from Larry Schooler, who uses his background and expertise in mediation and conflict management, to guide you through a new approach to conflict resolution, both for your internal team and with competing public interests.

Where do the boundaries exist to protect the key parties involved in these information exchanges? And who sets these boundaries and determines the rules associated with them? Speakers include Kristen Walker, California State University Northridge.
