		<description><![CDATA[We know that amazing work in our field&#160;often begins with&#160;the connections made and synergies ignited during&#160;NCDD conferences, and we are so pleased to share a great example of how that happens. The piece below from NCDD supporting members Mary Thompson and Martha Cox&#160;tells the story of how, from a&#160;conversation at NCDD&#8217;s 2012&#160;conference, the new San Diego Deliberation Network was born. We can&#8217;t wait to see&#160;what other great work&#160;will begin&#160;this week at&#160;NCDD 2014! A new twist on a collaborative model of deliberation and dialogue has emerged [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/16539?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=great-things-start-at-ncdd-conferences-the-san-diego-deliberation-network-2">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m preparing a little presentation for our partners at CommunityMatters on how NCDD tackled the concept of civic infrastructure at our last national conference, and thought I&#8217;d write about it here on the blog to gather my thoughts. Our convening question (kinda like a theme) for NCDD Seattle was: How can we build a more robust civic infrastructure in our practice, our communities, and our country? In our conference guidebook, we described our challenge to attendees this way: Our hope is that this theme takes [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/14448?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=how-we-tackled-civic-infrastructure-at-ncdd-2012">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the 2012 NCDD Seattle conference a small group of us started a quest. We shared a desire to see dialogue and deliberation (D &#38; D) become more widely understood, experienced, and available. But, we also knew that when many people hear words like &#8220;dialogue,&#8221; they envision scenes from political talk shows, &#8220;open mic&#8221; style municipal meetings, or dogmatic speeches from family, friends, and colleagues. The rich possibilities for successful engagement do not seem widely understood. What to do?
