MACM is very proud to announce that Dr. Joan Kelly will be our featured speaker at our 27th Annual Conference on September 12-14, 2012 at the beautiful Crystal Mountain Resort.
Joan Kelly has been researching the impact of divorce on children since 1968. It was Joan’s studies in this area that encouraged her to want to become a mediator. Joan is a frequent keynote speaker, workshop leader, and trainer at state, national and international conferences, including judicial and legal conferences in many countries, AFCC, American Psychological Association, Family Mediation Associations in Canada, England, Scotland, and the New Zealand Psychological Association. Dr. Kelly has been honored with many awards, including Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Distinguished Mediator Award from theAcademyofFamily Mediators, and the Distinguished Research Award and the Meyer Elkin Award from the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts. Joan is Past-President of the Board of Directors of the Academy of Family Mediators and the Board of the California Dispute Resolution Institute.
The information Dr. Kelly will provide extends beyond mediation and will benefit all professionals, including Judges, social workers and counselors that work with families and domestic relations. We are fortunate to have her inMichiganand I urge you to register early for this conference to secure registration for this event.
