Fox 40 online news featured an article about a forum that was held at Binghamton High School where community members deliberated about immigration, using the National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI) issue guide titled Coming to America: Who Should We Welcome, What Should We Do? The forum was organized by SUNY Broome's Center for Civic Engagement.

The David Mathews Center for Civic Life in Montevallo, Alabama, has announced an upcoming series of eleven teacher workshops that will be held around the state.

The award, which is administered by the National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI), is intended to help people who are interested in promoting deliberative forums in their communities as a way to help people talk about difficult public issues.
