IAM Perspectives — IAM’s Quarterly Newsletter

Call for Articles

IAM is planning to produce a quarterly (virtual) newsletter, IAM Perspectives. We need your help! Please send a paragraph or two on any of the following topics for the upcoming September edition to your IAM Perspectives editors: Jan Schau, Michelle Reinglass, and Eric Galton no later than July 30, 2025. (Please do NOT send to entire list serve.)

Here’s what we envision:

  • Book / Entertainment Reviews – “not to be missed” mediation-relevant cultural publications
  • Community Initiatives – items of interest to IAM Mediators
  • Letters to the Ethicist
  • Mediation “Moments” – those unbelievable ones we long to tell!
  • Upcoming Events – what professional development opportunities are you excited about?  Is there a Regional Retreat you want to make sure everyone knows about?
  • Honors, Awards, and Recognitions – don’t be modest!
  • Want Ads – particular needs
  • Travel Plans and Tips
  • Recipes & Cocktails – what’s your favorite new discovery from around the world?
  • New Members – we will feature our newest members, so if you have been inducted as a DF within the last few years and have not been featured, please send a brief bio and photo introducing yourself.
  • And, of course, our esteemed President, Jonathan Lloyd Jones, will have a report in each issue on his own Perspective.

Be creative, and have some fun.  Be brief, but informative.

Many thanks to all of you. Reach out to any of the 3 of us with your questions or if you are a wanna-be Journalist (like me!) and want to join our team, please let me know. The pay is not good, but the rewards may be plentiful!

Warm regards (or for those suffering through extreme heat this summer), “cool regards” from Southern California!

Jan Schau,
aka Editor in Chief
