A membership body for Professional Mediators in Ireland |
The Irish Professional Mediators’ Organisation (CLG), ‘IPMO’, is a professional membership body of mediators in Ireland established in September 2021 – We are an independent non-profit organisation which represents the interests of our members and promotes excellence in all areas of professional mediation practice, and public awareness of the benefits of mediation.
We are a community of professionals who aim to deliver mediation services to the highest standards.
IPMO's Board consists of experienced Mediators, Academics, Legal Practitioners & HR experts. Board members chair committees which work synergistically to realise the organisations' goals & objectives.
The structure of our board reflects the goals of our organisation. We aim for active communication with members on all aspects of how our organisation is run and how we can best meet their needs in the professional practice of mediation.
