MEDIATION: A PROCESS WHERE PARTIES COME TOGETHER WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A NEUTRAL THIRD-PARTY FACILITATOR TO DISCOVER OPTIONS AND CLARIFY POINTS OF AGREEMENT.
Iowa Mediation Service was founded in 1985 as a non-profit organization dedicated to solutions for farmers, families, organizations, and any group or individual who may find themselves in need of a conflict management expert. Mediation provides a low-cost, low-risk approach to managing personal and business matters that are large or small in nature.
