Meetings, Events and Other News:
Please note the following important information for the Sheriff Candidate Forum and see the flyer below.
Venue Details and Behavior Expectations
It goes without saying that we, as Forum Sponsors, expect that candidates and their supporters exhibit respectful behavior at all times. To that end, here are some helpful guidelines for you to share with your respective campaigns and supporters:
· All candidates are to be treated with respect at all times during the forum.
· Outbursts and/or disturbances will not be tolerated; violators will be asked to leave.
· Absolutely no audio or video recording will be allowed; violators will be asked to leave.
· The Sponsors reserve the sole right to record the entire meeting which will be posted on all three websites and social media outlets for the community at large to see.
· Anyone showing up at the forum should be expect to be on video—there is no “opt out”. It is a public forum and as such, there is a possibility they might be on the video.
· There will be no campaign signage allowed at the forum—inside or outside. The school division has requested that no political signs be on school property. We are happy to honor that request.
· No campaign signs (commercially printed or homemade), displays or campaign materials will be allowed inside the auditorium.
· Supporters can sign up for yard signs at your campaign tables in lieu of having them at the venue.
· The online portal for question submissions will be turned off September 22nd in order to allow the Forum Sponsors time to input the questions into the block schedule for Mr. Rossi.
· We will accept questions at the door and if there is time, we will incorporate them into the block schedule for the evening
· Anyone submitting questions at the door will have to put their name, email and phone number on the question. The reason for this is two-fold: we ask the online submissions for contact information and we will be sending you all copy of the questions not asked during the forum (that adhere to the regulations of the forum). We ask that you contact the community member with the answer. This gives you an opportunity to connect with a voter beyond the forum and lets the community know that you actually care about giving an answer.
The forum will begin at 7 p.m., doors will open to the public at 6:45 p.m. as the auditorium is in use before our forum. Candidates and Committees will be allowed to have tables with campaign literature in the auditorium commons area.
