Using the National Issue Forums Institute (NIFI.org) public deliberation process, we will weigh alternatives from various courses of action using NIFI issues guides. You are encouraged to express, listen to, and consider all points of view. Discussion includes three major issues: (1) Medicare and Medicaid: How can we afford it? (2) America's Role in the World: What does National Security mean in the 21st Century? (3) Mental Illness in America: How do we address a growing problem? Come ready to consider and discuss.

Moderator: Kent Friel, MBA, UC, 1965, former business owner and Community Fellow with the KnowledgeWorks, Cincinnati. He is a moderator trained in the deliberation process by the National Issues Forum Institute.
