Organized in 1985 as the Texas Association of Family Mediators, the organization originally focused on the concerns of family mediators and their clients. Over time, TAM expanded its outreach from family mediation to all areas of mediation, changing its name in 1990. TAM is known as an inclusive organization that represents mediators from all professional backgrounds and practice areas.

USA mediators and arbitrators
America's leading mediators and arbitrators
The National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals is an association whose membership consists of mediators and arbitrators distinguished by their hands-on experience in the field of civil and commercial conflict resolution, and by their commitment to the practice of alternative dispute resolution.

The Florida Circuit-Civil Mediators Society
Our Florida Society at www.FloridaMediators.org was established in late 2004, and took many hundreds of attorney and firm surveys, peer-nomination screening & vetting to compile. Florida has been a pioneer in the use of ADR, and likely has more fulltime practitioners than any other state. As such, the Florida Supreme Court's Dispute Resolution Center has a clear certification process, awarding attorneys with a "Circuit-Civil" certification to allow them to mediate civil litigated cases. Of the 5000+ "state certified" ADR attorneys, less than 5% are included in our FL Panel of the state's most distinguished neutrals.
