PROGRAM SPONSOR:

The West program provides FREE, neutral, third-party mediators who help those in conflict define issues, explore solutions, and reach mutually satisfactory agreements. Mediation seeks to prevent conflicts from escalating, and empowers parties to have a say in how their issues are resolved. Sessions are confidential and are held in out-of-court settings.

West Program News and Updates!
Volunteer of the Year! Sue Kuntze has been an outstanding volunteer for our program for the last two years. While that is not a very long time, she jumped right in and has been a great asset to our program. Sue says, “I was blessed to serve the children and families of Oklahoma for 33 years as a public-school educator. I began my career as a special education teacher, then principal, director, and retired as assistant superintendent. I have always loved “community” and have served as a volunteer and/or board member for more than 40 years both in church and many nonprofit organizations. These include: The Meadows Center of Opportunity, Oklahoma Special Olympics, Smart Start Central Oklahoma, Focus on Home, and Graceworks Justice Center.
 
Sue’s volunteer work has been focused on identifying ways to empower and encouragement our community neighbors facing short- or long-term resource deficits or challenges. After retirement, I became interested in using mediation to help increase civility by improving skills of communication, compromise, and conflict resolution. We had trained our elementary students in peer mediation since the 1990s, and I knew the process worked and restored relationships. I have been pleased to experience the same results with the mediation process in our court system. I am committed to service and hope to continue for many years to come.” Sue has mediated 15 cases and has volunteered over 25 hours for the Early Settlement – West program.
Early Settlement Mediation – West Program director Stacy Horner presents her annual report at the Dispute Resolution Advisory Board meeting.
Volunteer Mediators! The West Program recently held a Civil Mediation training, and these are two of the new mediators with Program Director, Stacy Horner.
