The National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI) is joining a broad coalition of civic organizations across the country as a "hosting partner" for the fourth annual National Week of Conversation, an opportunity for Americans to come together in a wide range of discussions about issues that impact the country, and the world. During the week of June 14, online National Issues Forums are being convened on voting. 

National Issues Forums has been named finalist in this year’s Civvy Awards with involvement in two of the six national initiatives selected.  A virtual awards ceremony will be held on Monday, April 19th, 2021 from 7-8 p.m. ET during which the winners will be announced.  All are invited to register to watch the ceremony.

A new issue advisory titled School, Interrupted: How should we teach in a pandemic? is now available to download. A companion Moderators' Guide to Forums is also available to download.

The National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI) is pleased to be one of many organizations throughout the country to endorse the Educating for American Democracy initiative, which launched nationwide on March 2.
