Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center’s free Brown Bag Lunch Talk series continues from noon-1 p.m. May 19 with a presentation by Lorraine Mendoza titled “Creating Meeting Magic: Purposeful Planning and Implementation” at the Hawaii County Building, Suite 1501, 25 Aupuni St. in Hilo.
“Successful meetings can seem magical. They come from purposeful planning, so feel effortless and fruitful,” Mendoza said. She credits strong mentors, workshops and years in community work for providing the critical steps she follows in managing meetings.
“My goal as a facilitator is to guide attendees along a pathway toward their shared destination,” she said.
For more than 20 years, Mendoza has been a highly respected leader in Hilo and along the Hamakua Coast. Raised in Hakalau, she is an active organizer of the Hilo-Hamakua Community Development Corp., community-based Economic Development Advisory Council, Rural South Hilo Community Association and Pepeekeo Community Association (her current neighborhood).
Ku’ikahi Mediation Center provides a variety of dispute prevention and resolution services to the East Hawaii community. The center helps individuals, families, organizations, businesses, schools, and others to find creative solutions to challenging situations.
