About
Us:

Midlands Mediation Network
"On behalf of all my
colleagues in the Midland Mediation Network, I would like to start
by thanking our retiring Chairman, George Tzilivakis, for his
leadership over the last eleven years and his dedication to ensuring
that ethical and professional standards of our profession have been
maintained and improved.
I have been asked and I
am delighted to have accepted chairmanship of the Midland Mediation
Network (MMN) at a time of great change and challenges in our
profession. My involvement with mediation stems from over 22 years
in dealing with conflict between neighbours and since 1999 I have
managed and developed the Birmingham Mediation Service.
I have been a member of the Network since 1996 and have seen many
new services join the Network and sadly many services leave.
Membership of the Network has diminished recently for a number of
reasons and I see one of the challenges I face is to reverse that
trend.
I would also like to welcome Peggy Nicholls as our new Vice Chair ,
Helen Blow and Astrid Hutchinson who have joined the Management
Committee, Sue Steel, our new Secretary and my thanks to Owen
McMillan who has agreed to continue as Treasurer.
I want to encourage all existing members to look at this as a fresh
start and an opportunity to meet these challenges that face many
services not just in the Midlands but nationally. Currently there is
no National body that is inclusive and represents all types of
mediation. The MMN is an inclusive network, we are a member led
regional organisation that has been established for many years and
that is our strength.
