EVENTS!

There is an National Issues Forums workshop/discussion coming up on Thursday, April 6th at the Humphrey Institute: Democracy's Challenge: Reclaiming the Public's Role. The event will begin at 5:00 and last until 8:30, and there will be food if you reserve a place in advance. Send me an email or post a comment if you're interested, and I can reserve a place with the moderator.

If you are planning to attend, or cannot attend but have an interest in the topic, you can order a free copy of the discussion guide (and it is nice) by calling 800-600-4060, or you can download a copy at http://www.nifi.org/discussion_guides/detail.aspx?catID=6&itemID=5083
