Purdue plays host to national issues forum

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue University is the site of the Kettering Foundation's annual National Issues Forum.

The foundation sponsors a forum in each state, and this is the third year that Purdue has been the Indiana site for the annual event. It will be held Aug. 7 and 8 in Stewart Center.

The two-day forum includes two programs: a Public Policy Institute and an Issues Framing Workshop. This year's topics for discussion are: "The Troubled American Family: Which Way Out of the Storm?" and "Education: How Do We Get What We Want?"

The Kettering Foundation trains and provides leaders for the forum, which is designed to help community leaders and citizens become involved in constructive discussions about public issues. Local government officials, business leaders and interested members of the public are encouraged to attend.

The event is co-sponsored by Purdue's Department of Organizational Leadership and Supervision. Registration is $75 and includes four meals, on-campus parking and training materials. For more information, contact Michael Menefee, (765) 494-5599; e-mail, mlmenefe@tech.purdue.edu
