SOCIAL MEDIA

The goal of the Southeast program is to assist individuals in working together to solve problems, play a role in decision-making, and formulate creative solutions to issues in dispute. The mediators are vital to the success of our program in helping resolve community and domestic disputes and offering citizens in Southeast Oklahoma the opportunity to restore peace and trust.

Southeast Program News & Updates

Guest Speaker! Regan Glinton, Program Director, had the honor of being the guest speaker for this year’s Volunteer Recognition Banquet for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), one of the amazing programs offered by KI BOIS Community Action Foundation, Inc. in McAlester.

“Volunteering is not just about helping others; it is also about helping yourself. By giving your time and effort to a cause, you gain a sense of purpose, connection, and accomplishment that enriches your own life”.

Volunteer of the Year! Floyd Bridgwater has been a volunteer with Early Settlement Mediation for two years. He moved back to McAlester, his hometown, in 2018 from Chapel Hill, NC where he served on three Orange County advisory boards. He searched for volunteer opportunities that required more effort of mind than back for a few years until hearing of the Southeastern Early Settlement Volunteer program. Floyd is certified in small claims, civil, family and divorce, and permanency mediations. He is also a volunteer in the AmeriCorps Retired Senior Volunteer program.
Floyd derives pleasure and satisfaction from the mediation effort as it provides him with the opportunity to be involved in the community in a meaningful way. However, his primary interest in the program stems from his interest in the process itself. His working career was as a research scientist. The process of identifying a problem or opportunity, collecting the pertinent information available, and applying logic and common sense to reach a solution applies both to scientific research and the mediation process in my experience. Being a volunteer with Early Settlement Mediation provides him with the opportunity to apply the skills he used during his working life to help others here in Southeast Oklahoma. Floyd has mediated 109 cases and has volunteered over 288 hours.

Lions Club! Program Director, Regan Glinton, recently spoke to the Checotah Lions Club. The program uses volunteer mediators, not only to help the local communities thrive, but also to offers individuals the chance to build conflict resolution skills and give back in meaningful ways.
