To aid the community in getting to know the candidates, the Elections Committee has arranged for a “Meet the Candidates” event on Friday evening, Sept 6th, from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm via Zoom. This will be your opportunity to hear from the candidates and ask questions.

This communique provides the details and process for how the meeting will be conducted. We will open the room to the community promptly at 7:30 pm. Each candidate will be given 3 minutes to introduce themselves and provide an “opening statement.” Following that, we will give each position 15 minutes for Q&A from the community.

The membership will be asked to type their name, street address of the property they own, and questions into the chat and the moderator will present the question to the candidate(s). 

Candidates will be given 2 minutes to answer the question so we can get multiple questions and have time for multiple candidates to respond.
We will ask the members to keep to 1 question per candidate. We will also ask that they use the honor system to only ask questions to the two leadership positions and candidates for the district in which they live. 

The Elections Committee will attempt to police this but cannot guarantee out-of-district individuals will be allowed to ask a question of a candidate they cannot vote for.

Election Committee members will MC and moderate the meeting. Please note that we will use the mute function if a candidate’s response exceeds the allotted time.

Here is the agenda for the evening:

7:30 - The membership is allowed into the room.
7:30 – The Election Committee opens the meeting with 5 minutes of welcoming and explaining the proceedings.
7:35 – Candidates begin opening statements in the following order (up  to 3 minutes per candidate):

• President 

• Financial Secretary

• District 1 (note – where there are multiple candidates for any
  position, you will be called upon in alphabetical order by last name)

• District 2 (note – where there are multiple candidates for any
  position, you will be called upon in alphabetical order by last name)

• District 3

• District 4

 8:00 – Questions for President
8:15 – Questions for Financial Secretary
8:30 – Questions for District 1
8:45 – Questions for District 2
9:00 – Questions for District 3
9:15 – Questions for District 4
9:30 – The Election Committee will thank everyone and close the meeting.

Some additional comments:
· We expect professionalism and decorum by all present at all times.
· At no time will the membership’s microphones be enabled  (unmuted).
· ALL questions will be entered into the chat function of Zoom and presented by the moderator to the candidates.

 · This is NOT a debate. You are to address your answer to your

actions or plans only. You will not be allowed to rebut or respond to other candidates’ answers.

· No one will be allowed to speak negatively of anyone else during the proceedings. The first offense will cause you to be muted.  The second offense will cause you to be removed from the meeting.

· Disruptive members or “zoom bombers” will be removed from the meeting.

· If questions for any position finish in less than 15 minutes, we would move on to the question for the next position on the agenda to make sure we finish on time.
