Discussing Hot Button Issues without the Heat

By Victoria Pynchon

Immigration Dialogue 2010

July 23, 2010  (3:30-5:30 pm PT)

at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles

Featuring:

Arizona State Rep.

John Kavanagh (Rep.)  and

Arizona State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (Dem.)  

   

 Moderated by:

Lee Jay Berman
President, American Institute of Mediation

 
Please join us for a very unique and special event where we will discuss the Immigration Issues facing us in 2010, and Arizona State Law SB 1070, which is scheduled to take effect on July 28, 2010.  Rather than an interview or debate, the American Institute of Mediation (AIM) is hosting a public mediated discussion on the topic featuring two Arizona State legislators: John Kavanagh (R) and Kyrsten Sinema (D) and facilitated by AIM founder and President Lee Jay Berman.

For this event, however, we will not be asking our guests to take part in an 'advocate and defend' style of discussion or debate that is often used by talk shows.   As a mediator, Mr. Berman will be seeking to draw out the underlying reasons behind their positions in an effort to have those interests and their reasoning be better understood, to diffuse the conflict, and to attempt to enter into a consensus-building, problem-solving dialogue by working with the common interests that they and their constituents may share.

There will be only 200 tickets released to the public.  Once they are sold out, the event will be closed.  Video highlights will be available online on the AIM Institute site following the event.
