Ethics in the World of Social Media
The use of social media is prolific now and there is a need to use the media wisely, and with ethical principles. Many users of social media often get into trouble for their irresponsible or improper use.

Collaborative Problem-Solving for Successful Negotiations
Traditional business and legal negotiation practices have centered on an oppositional, zero-sum game approach that seeks clear winners and losers. But negotiation in the legislative realm is different in many ways, with multiple stakeholders, complex interests, and both policy and political considerations to balance. In this workshop, participants learn to identify their primary interests and the interests of their negotiating partner, develop creative options to circumvent roadblocks, preserve relationships with their negotiating partners for future interactions and more. Engage in negotiation simulations designed specifically for the legislative setting and develop the skills and creativity necessary to engage in successful negotiation practices that produce more optimal outcomes.

• Tim Storey, NCSL, Colorado
