2020 NETWORKING AND EDUCATIONAL FORUM ■ VIRTUAL EDITION
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the 21st Annual IACP Networking and Educational Forum and welcome to the very first
IACP Virtual Forum!!
Our theme this year is The Door is Open. When we chose this theme in January we had very little idea
of what our Forum would be like. Certainly, we did not envision being unable to meet in person, and
that we would all be attending Forum from our offices or homes.
When we had to make this decision there was sadness and many concerns, but also the awareness
that this awkward circumstance could be turned into a great opportunity: the opportunity to have
attendees from all over the world, speaking different languages, in different time zones, all connected
at the same time from their countries. While attending Forum in the past has not been easy for
many professionals, especially from outside of the US, this year we can offer to all Collaborative
professionals the opportunity to join and attend. Our technology offers us the possibility of having
Francesca King interpretations and recordings: participants will be able to attend not only from the comfort of their
houses, they will also be able to follow many more workshops than usual, with their own timing and
addressing their own needs.
Forum has always been an incredible educational opportunity for Collaborative professionals, and this opportunity will certainly be even
greater this year. But Forum has always been a precious moment for connections and relations, very dear to the hearts of our community.
And living in times of lack of personal connection, many of us were concerned about how a Virtual Forum could deal with this aspect. Well, I
am proud to say our Board, our Staff, our Local Host Committee worked really hard to ensure we would have connection, warmth and fun!
In the end, the Door is Open revealed itself as a very appropriate theme for our Forum, even in these weird times. What we wanted to
suggest is that the door is open to new ideas and reflections on the role of Collaborative Practice within the world of ADR. As we widen
IACP’s mission (To transform the way families resolve conflict by building a global community of Collaborative Practice and consensual
dispute resolution professionals) we wanted to host and foster a reflection on the synergies and the interaction Collaborative Practice can
play with other ADR methods, mediation above all. This reflection will be deepened at Forum, in many workshops and in many PFIs. At the
same time, the door of our community will be open to many more professionals and in many more countries than usual. While we might
feel limited in our movements, we are wide open to influences from different countries and communities, to the reflection that if something
works in a different area it might be worth considering in our jurisdiction or region.
As many of us noted in these interesting times, Collaborative Practice is a global movement and a global thought, the only way to encourage
its development worldwide is to be open, mind and soul.
And that is what we are.
Francesca King
President, IACP Board of Directors

signature drink-making session, appetizers, dinner, and even a LIVE

Improv helps you say “Yes” to new ways of thinking, and open the door to beautiful, effective collaboration. About Cam Algie Cam used to be anxious. Like, really anxious. All the time. It affected everything from his job as a copywriter, to his ability to leave the house without panicking. Anxiety ruled his every waking moment (and many sleepless nights). It was how he thought he’d always be. Then he tried improv, and it changed his life. Now Cam uses improv to help others, through Play with Fire Improv and as Lead Facilitator of Cameron Algie Second City Toronto’s Improv for Anxiety Program. Since 2013, he’s helped hundreds of individuals, groups, and corporate clients manage anxiety, connect with others, make bold creative choices, and find the courage to be their best selves. In addition to helping companies like CIBC, Doxim, Autodesk, and Women’s College Hospital with team building and communication, Cameron helps people understand the psychology behind what we do. He’s been interviewed by the BBC, CBC, Marilyn Denis Show, and the Carla Collins Show among others, about how improv helps with mental wellness. As a performer, he’s toured North America, and now teaches improv online to people all over the world. • Professor of Play, Play with Fire Improv • Founder & Lead Facilitator of the Improv for Anxiety program, Second City Toronto • Instructor at The Assembly and Social Capital Theatre • Professor of Presentation Skills at Seneca College 2016-2017 • Improviser for 15 years, studying and performing at theatres across North America • Advertising copywriter for 12 years • Former anxious person (over 30 years’ experience) All times in the program are in Pacific Daylight Time. 14 | Check on worldtimebuddy.com to convert to your time zone. #CPopensdoors 21st Annual Networking and Educational Forum

It is the study of how people in relationships make choices. It can also be a guide for people in negotiations, helping them make choices that yield optimal outcomes for both of them. The use of Game Theory principles in settlement negotiations requires a special mindset and specific negotiation strategies and techniques, very different from a traditional family law perspective. A Game Theory approach to negotiations is a hand-in-glove fit with Collaborative Divorce, which positions professionals, not as bargainers, but as planners and problem solvers. In this presentation, Dr. Waldron presents the basics with regard to this new mindset, principles, strategies and techniques, all derived from Game Theory. Collaborative divorce has been a major change in direction of family law, recognizing what many have intuitively known was a flawed system and offers a more party Kenneth Waldron and family friendly approach to divorce. Game Theory principles can enhance the Collaborative approach by shifting the focus from short-term legal outcomes to long-term financial and family goals and provides effective planning tools. About Kenneth H. Waldron Kenneth H. Waldron, Ph.D. is licensed psychologist and a Member in the firm of Monona Mediation and Counseling LLC, Monona, Wisconsin. His practice has been devoted to providing services to divorced/separated parents for over 35 years. Dr. Waldron has provided divorce mediation and arbitration, a range of programs for conflicted parents, including Structured Coparenting Counseling and Parenting Coordinator services, expert witness services, assessment and treatment of Parental Alienation Syndrome, and educational programs for divorcing parents. He has served as court appointed expert, performing custody studies and testifying to social science research in jurisdictions throughout the United States and in Canada. Ken has done research and has published broadly on topics related to children of divorce. His latest books, co-authored with Allan Koritzinsky, Esq., is Game Theory and the Transformation of Family Law, in which the authors analyze traditional family law using game theory principles to help understand and explain why traditional family law often promotes rather than relieves family conflict, and, Winning Strategies in Divorce, which is a “how-to” apply game theory principles to case settlement. The authors also use game theory principles to propose alternative bargaining approaches, both in mediation and settlement bargaining, which increase effective communication and cooperation and increase the chance for optimal outcomes for both parties, and families when there are children. He has spoken to numerous groups of judges, attorneys, mediators and mental health providers nationwide, along with having made appearances on television, radio and participating in on-line interviews. Ken has trained professionals across the country in Structured Coparenting Counseling and Structured Coparenting Training Classes, a specialized program for reducing parenting conflict and increasing effective communication and cooperation between separated parents. Ken has also published numerous articles, chiefly in legal journals, on general divorce related topics but also special topics such as post-divorce relocation. He and his co-author, Attorney Allan Koritzinsky, offer free booklets to professionals and blogs to parents on co- parenting related subjects on the site, www.thedivorcedoctor.net. Ken is a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC), has sat on the boards of the Eyes of the Child program development board, the Wisconsin Inter-professional Committee on Divorce (WIPCOD) and of the AFCC-Wisconsin Chapter. He is currently the editor of the AFCC-WI Newsletter. He is a trained mediator and has spoken to groups on advanced mediation principles in both state and national forums.
