Aura F.

Lynda is a very devoted person. She meant to help me and the other party to understand each other's situations. She was very professional in dealing with us. Though conversations were very critical, we were able to resolve the conflict with her mediating among us. It was wonderful to have Lynda as our mediator.

I manage the Interagency Sharing Neutrals Program (SNs). SNs is an interagency mediation program that provides free mediation services to federal agencies throughout the metropolitan Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area. SNs primarily provides mediation services in equal employment opportunity (EEO) cases and workplace disputes. Ms. Bowman has been an outstanding member of SNs since 1998. During that time Ms. Bowman has mediated hundreds of cases for the program, with a majority of those cases ending in a resolution. Ms. Bowman's background and experience in civil rights, EEO, and as a manager make her uniquely qualified for a conflict resolution professional. In addition to her background, Ms. Bowman is an outstanding communicator. She is able to listen objectively while honing in on each parties' underlying interest. Very few mediators are requested again and again. Ms. Bowman is one of those mediators. I highly recommend Ms. Bowman to anyone seeking a competent mediation professional.

I think Ms. Bowman is a wonderful person and may be excellent in other services that she offers, e.g. school children tutoring or document editing. I sought her mediation services however and I should have known better, as that far and wide range of skills did not look promising. She does not have any skills in dispute mediation and should not offer this as a service.

This customer asked for mediation but was looking for counseling. She would not accept information about what mediation was or what could be expected.

Ms. Bowman comes equipped to handle whatever service she is contacted about. We have used her services for about five years (in other ventures) and glad to see she is branching out under her own "umbrella". Lynda truly is the epitome of a professional. She is tactful, savvy, and dependable. C.S.

Thank you Cynthia for your encouraging words. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Ms. Bowman is an excellent tutor who is committed to assisting children achieve their full potential, both academically and socially. As a former Co-Coordinator of the Saturday Tutoring Program sponsored by the Upsilon Tau Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, I worked with Ms. Bowen for nearly 8 years. During this time, I personally observed her ability to work with elementary school students. She is highly qualified to teach math, reading comprehension and other subjects using novel and easy-to-learn methods that appeal to students at all grade levels. Her personal style and ability to relate to and communicate effectively with students allows her to establish a productive learning relationship with her students. Students are never talked down to nor does she become impatient with them. If someone does not grasp a concept, she simply begins again or tries another approach. Patient and observant, Ms. Bowman engages her students and seeks to get to know them on an individual basis. She encourages them to share their academic achievements as well as their challenges and defeats. By encouraging this type of interpersonal interaction, she is able to foster an environment where students are willing to work with each other, share their talents, and become more confident in their abilities. Ms. Bowman provides intellectually stimulating assignments that not only build upon the students existing knowledge base but also challenges them to develop the best approach for solving any academic issues they face. Her instruction is focused and results in a deepening of students study skills, confidence in asking for and receiving help, and academic mastery. As a direct result of her efforts, students who are failing or performing below grade level should experience marked improvement as evidenced by improved grades and performance on state assessment tests. Because of her teaching ability and commitment and dedication to the academic success of children, I highly recommend Ms. Bowman as a tutor. I believe that anyone engaging her services will find that they made the right decision. Tonya R. McCullough
