WMA is a state wide professional organization of mediators that includes Independent mediators, attorneys, volunteers, and organizations. Members advocate for the use of mediation as a powerful conflict resolution tool and support each other’s efforts to continually improve the quality and usefulness of mediation.

The Washington Mediation Association offers a Fall Conference each year in October. The conference was first called an “Unconference” with the goal to bring participants together in an unstructured environment and with their peers, brainstorm answers to the questions of the day. This event has evolved into a full day seminar. A panel of experienced mediators provide new ideas and information in the morning. In the afternoon, participants return to the unconference format to discuss ideas of all kinds in a peer-to-peer setting. Last year, we successfully transitioned the Fall Conference to a virtual conference. Moving forward, the virtual Fall Conference will take place in October. Please check back for registration details in September 2021.
