About IAM membership:

The benefits of IAM Membership include:

  • The opportunity to be involved in mediation activities
  • Networking opportunities among fellow mediators
  • The option of a listing on the association's referral service
  • Access to mediation brochures and the member mailing list
  • A voice in mediation legislation

Membership dues and how to apply:

From January 1 to August 31 of each year - $60 for the current year only

From September 1 to December 31 of each year - an "early bird" special for current members - $50 pays your dues for the coming year. From September 1 to December 31, persons wishing to join the IAM have the option of paying just $80 for the remaining months of the current year and all of the next year.

Whether you're interested in becoming a mediator, or just want to network with other professional mediators and take advantage of the training opportunities offered by the IAM, you're invited to become a member of the Association. For more information about the IAM, contact any of the officers or directors listed on the Contact Us page. You can also just download the membership application form, fill it out, and send it in with your check for dues. To renew your dues in subsequent years, download the same document, mark the box indicating a renewal of membership, sign the form, and send it in along with your check.

To be listed on the IAM's Mediator Referral List (a benefit available only to current members), download the Referral List Application Form and the Referral List Agreement Form. Complete and sign both forms, and enclose a copy of the Declarations Page of your current malpractice insurance policy showing that coverage is in effect.

Completed membership applications and/or Referral List information should be sent to:

Indiana Association of Mediators
c/o Rick Wacker, Treasurer & Membership Coordinator
4520 W. Jurist Ct.
Trafalgar, IN 46181

Once a member has been approved for listing on the Referral List, in subsequent years, proof of ongoing malpractice coverage is not required. Provided that a member's dues have been paid, the box at the end of the Referral List Agreement Form can simply be marked to indicate that malpractice insurance remains in force and that the contact information has not changed. Persons who are not current IAM members are not eligible to be listed on the Referral List and will be removed.

See the Contact Us page for a complete listing of our Officers & Directors.

The Indiana Association of Mediators has publicly available by-laws.
