On Thursday April 2nd at 7:00 at the Grand Rapids Library the founder
of e-democracy, Steven Clift, will be speaking on the benefits of
e-democracy and provide information on how e-democracy forums can have
a positive effect on our community. Clift is an international expert
on online public participation and has received several honors and
awards including the Freedom of Information Award for Minnesota
e-democracy. For more in depth information on Steve Clift follow this

Grand Rapids Area forum.
