IFI proudly announces new user-friendly website and e-mail format, hosted by 1871 Media.

I am delighted to welcome you to the debut of Illinois Family Institute’s redesigned website and our new, user-friendly e-mail format. 

This new email format will be a refreshing change from the former IFI emails that were often times too long and cumbersome. The new e-publication will come out 1-2 times per week–in addition to periodic E-Alerts–and will include headlines and short teasers for each article which you, the reader, can access simply by clicking on the headline for that article. 

This new format allows you, the IFI subscriber, to read only the stories that interest you, rather than having to sift through an entire e-mail to read what you want. Of course, every story IFI publishes is a valuable source of timely information, but we know that you are often too busy to read everything we write. 

Please remember that the short description for each e-mail story is just that: a teaser describing the entire article, which you can access by clicking on the headline or the “read more” link.

On the website, you will also find the most up-to-date stories, alerts and opinions with information about the legislation and policies of concern to Illinois families. But there is more: with our redesigned layout, IFI will be able to provide you with MUCH MORE and BETTER information on a wide variety of issues, and it will be much more accessible to you.

We still have many changes to make, so we will be tweaking and adding to the site over the coming months as it moves into full operation. 

Please feel free to let us know what you think. E-mail IFI at info@illinoisfamily.org or David Smith, our Senior Policy Analyst, at:desmith@illinoisfamily.org (You can call Dave at 773-858-6602.) 

And please do not forget to tell all your friends and family to subscribe to our new and improved email service!

Thank you for your patience as we move forward with this exciting project at Illinois Family Institute! God bless you.

Sincerely,

Peter LaBarbera
Executive Director
