How does mediation work in Sonoma County?

Sonoma County's trial court is the Superior Court of California, County of Sonoma [1]. Since November 1, 2022 the court itself has run its Civil Settlement Conference Program, taking it back from the Sonoma Bar Association; the assigned civil judge decides case by case whether to order a mandatory settlement conference, under Local Rule 4.7 [2]. For mediation, its ADR page explains the options, posts local forms such as the CV-7 stipulation, and gives a Santa Rosa contact for community mediation [3]. The few mediators listed below come from other official panels [4][5].
