91¶ÌÊÓƵ Board of Trustees Vice Chair Ken Simon joined Mitchell College of Business professors
Dr. Bob Shearer and Dr. Jeanne Maes in a workshop presentation at the Florida Dispute
Resolution Center's 22nd Annual Conference for Mediators and Arbitrators held in Orlando,
Fla., in August.
Their session was titled "ADR Educators Roundtable: Facilitated Discussion of Current
Issues, Trends, and Best Practices." Simon, in addition to being one of the leading
mediators in Alabama, is active in alternative dispute resolution training, having
presented programs at the National Judicial Conference. Maes and Shearer have been
workshop leaders at the Florida DRC Conference for some 20 years and regularly conduct
training workshops in negotiation skills, communication, conflict resolution and mediation
for professional groups and educators. They team teach a senior-level, team-based
learning course titled "Negotiation and Alternative Dispute Resolution in Business."
"Ken Simon's experience and skill as both a mediator and trainer added a valuable
dimension to the learning experience for workshop attendees," Shearer said. "We were
delighted that he was able to take time away from his busy schedule as an attorney,
mediator, and trustee to join us in representing 91¶ÌÊÓƵ at a conference of this stature."
Simon, a 91¶ÌÊÓƵ alumnus, is a partner with Christian & Small attorneys in Birmingham.
He has served on the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Board of Trustees since 2009.
