Candidate Forum

I have been invited to participate in a meet the candidate forum on Monaday, April 19th, on the campus of WVWC. Beginning at 7:00pm, the forum will be moderated by David McCauley and is scheduled to last about 1 1/2 hours. The location of the candidate forum has not been established and will be announce in the local news papers.

Each candidate will have an opportunity to introduce themselves for approximately 3 minutes, then the questions will be put forth to the candidates on themes important to the college and students. A response time of 2 minutes per question will require each candidate to be concise and direct. That is incredibly difficult, especially when you have a lot to say and answers often require some background information. Wow, I need to practice. As time permits and after the responses to the theme questions, candidates will have to opportunity to respond to questions at large submitted by attendees of the forum. It should be an informative and educational evening for all.

I wonder if the WVWC jazz band, parroting the Academy Awards, will start playing music when the candidates have reached their maximum response time. In the memorable words of the great comedian, Jackie Gleason, "A little travel'n music Sammy!"
