Neutral Facilitation Collaborative

Introduction to the Texas A&M Neutral Facilitation Collaborative (NFC)

As a shared effort between Faculty Affairs and Staff Advocacy & Support the Neutral Facilitation Collaborative (NFC) is established to provide support to those seeking to resolve issues informally. The volunteer members of the NFC are members of the Texas A&M Community who have undergone Third Party Conflict Resolution and/or Mediation Training. To request a facilitator, fill out the form. A facilitator should be assigned within a week.

Request a Facilitator

If you would like to request mediation support, please contact Sarah Franke at sfranke@tamu.edu.

Note: To ensure proper selection protocols and confidential tracking, facilitation and mediation requests should not be made directly to individuals within the Facilitated Dialogue Collaborative. If approached, facilitators may assist in navigating the appropriate requesting process.
