The New Intellectual Forum was founded in 1987 by Marsha and John Enright as a discussion group that focuses on Objectivist topics and ideas.
An NIF gathering consists of three parts: a dinner at a restaurant, a presentation with group discussion, and then finally socializing and general discussion.
As Marsha explains, "The purpose of the evening is to present ideas, information, and knowledge, often new identifications in Objectivism or other related areas."
Typically, the salon meets in the Beverly Hills/Morgan Park neighborhood of Chicago on the 3rd Saturday of each month, but the exact day and topic is available from the main page of the NIF website or from checking the news and annoucnements page.
The New Intellectual Forum was the subject of an article by The Objectivist Center, and also featured prominently in an interview of Marsha Enright on how to run an Objectivist salon.
Marsha Enright has been interested in Objectivism since she read The Fountainhead at age 16. She is a trained psychologist, co-founder and executive director of the Council Oak Montessori School, and launched The Fountainhead Institute.
If you're interested in further information about NIF and its activities, you may contact Marsha online. Information on The New Intellectual Forum is also available at the club directory maintained by The Objectivist Center.
