Nashville Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC) honored two Nashvillians as “Community Heroes” during its 6th annual Mediation Matters breakfast at Hillwood Country Club. Heather Howell Wright and Bill Norton, attorneys at Bradley, served as co-chairs of the fundraiser. Norton is a founder of NCRC and was one of 2022’s community hero honorees. Judge Lynda Jones was the keynote speaker. Community heroes who were honored include Bette Christofersen, longtime community volunteer and mediator and Kim Wolfe, court clerk at Metro Nashville General Sessions Civil Court. Founded in 2000, NCRC provides free mediation to low-income individuals and groups throughout Nashville and surrounding counties. Mediation empowers people to resolve conflict quickly and effectively, which keeps kids in school, adults employed and families safely housed.
