Julia oversees Stalder Mediation’s operations and business development. Trained as both a mediator and attorney, Julia also brings to Stalder Mediation a decade of organizational management and development experience.
Prior to joining forces with her husband in 2012, Julia held senior staff and consulting positions at several New York-area non-profit organizations, including the Peaks Foundation, the New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund and Hadassah.
During her time in the non-profit sector, Julia created and implemented comprehensive and strategic development plans for organizations in both the start-up and more well-established phases, and forged dozens of successful philanthropic partnerships totaling over $1 million. She is well-versed in helping organizations institute efficient practices and cultivate strategic relationships to maximize their short- and long-term programmatic and financial goals, and she is thrilled to bring this expertise to Stalder Mediation.
Julia also brings rich experience working with boards of directors and teams of staff to navigate challenging group decision-making and move towards productive outcomes and organizational growth. Julia understands the myriad challenges faced by organizations of varying types and sizes, including, and especially, the interpersonal and communication hurdles that can inhibit many organizations and individuals from reaching their professional goals. Her sensitivity to these organizational systems and challenges help guide our work.
Earlier in her career, Julia practiced law at Chadbourne & Parke LLP, focusing on estate planning and family matters. Julia is active in various local and regional philanthropic causes, and currently serves on the Board of Eden Village Camp in Putnam Valley, NY.
