The APFM Outstanding Professional Family Mediator Award

Accepting Nominations for APFM’s Outstanding Mediator Award

Submission Deadline — September 15, 2019

In 2018 APFM began a tradition of honoring a professional family mediator whose work is significantly impacting our field. Our inaugural honoree was Jim Melamed.

We invite you to nominate a mediator whose work may inspire and advance the family mediation profession, and whom you believe should be considered for this honor.

Description of The Outstanding Professional Family Mediator Award:

The APFM Outstanding Professional Family Mediator Award is presented annually to a professional family mediator who is a leader and innovator in the family mediation field, and whose imaginative ideas and creative approaches to mediation and to public awareness advance the practice of family mediation. The recipient has developed unique concepts and techniques that have addressed challenges in mediation and improved the quality of family mediation services. The recipient demonstrates excellence in professional family mediation and outstanding personal qualities that mirror the highest levels of professional standards, including integrity, trustworthiness, and compassion.
