Carol Bowser Named EEOC Mediator

 

TACOMA - Carol Bowser, founder of Conflict Management Strategies, a Tacoma-based company, recently had her contract as mediator for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission renewed.
Bowser was first selected as a contract mediator for the EEOC in November 2005. The selection process is rigorous and highly competitive. Bowser was chosen because she has more than 10 years of mediation experience and 250 hours of professional development specifically related to employment issue and mediation including presenting at the Northwest Dispute Resolution Conference in 2004 and training new mediators.

 

 

"I am excited about the opportunity to work with the EEOC," Bowser said.
Bowser graduated from the Seattle University School of Law and is a licensed attorney in Washington State. She began her career in mediation in 1994 and has mediated, trained and designed training programs for agencies throughout the Northwest. She founded Conflict Management Strategies, a company emphasizing training and consulting on conflict resolution in schools and in the workplace, in 2002. In addition to serving the EEOC, she serves on mediation panels for the Pierce County Center for Dispute Resolution, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and ADRSystems. She also teaches at the University of Phoenix and was appointed lead law faculty in 2005.

 

The EEOC is the Federal Agency tasked with enforcement of Federal Anti-discrimination Law. (Title VII: Race, Religion, Gender, Color, National Origin; Americans with Disabilities Act; Equal Pay Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) The EEOC offers mediation as a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution as an alternative to the traditional investigative or litigation process. Mediation is an informal process in which a neutral third party assists the opposing parties to reach a voluntary, negotiated resolution of a charge of discrimination. The decision to mediate is completely voluntary for the charging party and the employer.
