Prior registration and payment is required. Stories of Conflict Community engagement and dispute resolution professionals learning from each other: A night for practitioners to share practical approaches to working with conflict. Remember that meeting when you felt you were in the middle of the fire? The International Association for Public Participation, IAP2, and LEADR, Association of Dispute Resolution practitioners, invite you to an intimate night to learn from each other and leading practitioners about practical techniques to work with conflict. You will have the opportunity to get to know other practitioners and share practice. You will also hear some leading edge techniques from some experts in the field that have made them leading practitioners. We will be compiling the top suggestions and approaches into an electronic resource that will be available for all participants after the event. You may not realise how much dispute resolution and community engagement have in common… So, what have you done when the temperature goes up?
Susan’s great strength is the way in which she uses her highly developed communication and facilitation skills to enable other people’s visions to become reality. Often dealing with highly controversial and potentially inflammatory issues, Susan designs forums that allow people to engage and react in a constructive manner. With a broad background in rural and regional development, Susan has created a solid foundation for bringing government and non-government agencies and regional communities together, to work productively towards common goals. Always mindful of creating new opportunities and meeting changing requirements, Susan continues to undertake relevant professional and skills development to accommodate her client's changing needs. Susan is a graduate of the Australian Rural Leadership Program (Course 4) and an Internationally Certified Professional Facilitator (CPF). On a personal note, Susan has a keen interest in Rotary and is a firm believer in community. Living locally in the north east, immersed in the cultural and natural beauty of the region, Susan is able to achieve this balance by indulging in her love of fine food and wine, reading and enjoying relaxing conversations with friends when she is not working on her business.

Anne is passionate about the human capacity for personal and cultural transformation. Bruce Turner He worked for the Victorian Government for 10 years, mainly in environmental impact assessment and the reform of the State’s land use planning system.

For the past 10 years, he has worked independently as a facilitator, mediator and trainer for a wide range of government and private sector clients, running everything from public consultation, consensus-building and mediation processes, to team-building, strategic planning and organisational development.
