Fun Quotes


"Problems cannot be solved from the same level of awareness that created them."
by: Albert Einstein


"To be a good mediator you must be a good listener." "You have to listen to not only what is being said, but what is not said -- which is often more important than what they say."

By: Kofi Annan: Center of the Storm, documentary film, by David Grubin, 2003.

Mediator Credentialing

Texas Mediator Credentialing Association (TMCA)

Texas was the first state to create a voluntery, multidisciplinary credentialing program through the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association. The TMCA gives Texas mediators the opportunity to set professional standards through a voluntary regulatory system.

Why is Credentialing Important?

Anyone can say they are a mediator, no matter what their training or experience. A TMCA credential assures that the mediator has met the rigorous standards of an independent organization devoted to maintaining the quality and accountability of the mediation profession.

What does it mean to be a TMCA Credentialed Mediator?

TMCA offers various levels of credentialing. Mediators must submit documented proof of training received, hours of mediation services performed, and continuing education completed on a yearly basis to renew their credentials.

AAM was incorporated in 1981 as the Austin Family Mediation Association. In recognition of the growing diversity in the field of mediation, in 1992 AFMA decided to expand its scope and became the Austin Association of Mediators.
