The Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce & Tourism is hosting a Candidates Forum featuring the 2 candidates running for Alleghany Highlands Public Schools School Board on Monday, September 9th at 6:30pm in the Gleason Hall at Clifton Academy. The forum is being sponsored by the Chamber as an effort to encourage citizens to become more involved in local government by learning about the issues and positions of candidates. The public is encouraged to attend.
The 2 candidates are:
Jacob Wright & Robert “Bob” Umstead
Members of the public will be allowed to submit written questions at the forum: a panel will review the questions before they are posed to the candidates. The moderator will pose the same question to each of the candidates and each candidate will have a limited time to respond. At the end of the forum, each candidate will be given three minutes to present statements about their candidacy and explain why they are running for office and their position on various issues.
Bring questions with you to submit to the review panel or submit them ahead of time to the Chamber by emailing mnobles@ahchamber.com . Please call the Chamber office at (540) 962-2178 if you have any questions or need additional information. Light refreshments will be available.
See you there! #UniquelyAlleghany
