Third Ear Conflict Resolution

Court sucks. Let us help you create a sustainable resolution.

Community Engagement

We are deeply committed to community involvement and believe in building strong connections with organizations and individuals working towards a more just and harmonious world. We actively participate in a variety of events, workshops, and volunteer activities, focusing on:
  • Conflict resolution
  • Education
  • Conscious business practices
While we receive more invitations than we can accommodate, we value every opportunity to connect and collaborate. We encourage you to reach out, and we look forward to engaging with you when possible. In the meantime, here are some of the places you can typically find us:

Volunteering

We envision a world where employment is a mutually beneficial partnership for achieving compatible goals in the employer’s business and the communities that support it. One way we further that vision is to volunteer with organizations that expand access to mediation. You will frequently find Nance coaching future mediators at:

  • Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts MediateArt
  • Law School Mediation Competitions
  • The annual FINRA Dispute Resolution Triathlon
Additionally, we support a variety of other organizations on a single-event basis. You might see us planting trees and shrubs, donating food, or leading conflict resolution and small business workshops in Virginia or New York.

Sports

Great work requires great health, which includes physical and mental fitness. We enjoy participating in charity runs like Tunnel to Towers and Race for the Cure, as well as softball, hiking, biking, and training at the YMCA. Nance also frequently posts her run times under #OldLadyRunning to inspire other older runners who have overcome injuries and illnesses.
