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 5, 2024, from 7.30 pm to 10:00 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 three 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, we will be using the mute function if a candidate’s response exceeds the allotted time.
