he Annual Roger Fisher
Negotiation Training Scholarship

 
As Executive Director of Community Justice Alternatives of Durham Region (CJA Durham) and a member of the Ontario Community Mediation Coalition (OCMC), I am proud to hold a seat on the Roger Fisher Negotiation Training Scholarship Committee. 

The member organizations of the OCMC rely heavily on the incredible volunteers who make our services to the community possible. We are especially please that our 2019-2020 Award Recipient is a longtime volunteer mediator from St. Stephen's Community House. 

Wendy Zhang has been a volunteer with St. Stephen's for over 10 years. She is passionate about peacemaking, and happy to help out in a pinch. Wendy is a mother and a successful new Canadian who has made her way in the world. Congratulations to Wendy for achieving this auspicious honour!

OCMC will be promoting the next application opportunity to all of its member when the next application process opens for the 2020-2021 Award. You can read more here.
