League of Women Voters of Boulder County
Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy
Serving the People of Boulder County, Colorado
Date: 9/16/2019
Subject: Candidate Forum Training Tonight!
From: League of Women Voters Boulder County






 
Are you interested in training for Candidate Forums? Join us tonight!

Each year the Boulder League hosts candidate forums throughout the county to provide the voters with straightforward information about the candidates and their positions. The League is highly respected for putting on these well run, non-confrontational debates in a no nonsense, neutral, fair manner.  But we could not do these forums without a well trained force of volunteers.  

Are you interested in becoming a League forum moderator?  Or maybe you would like to be a question screener and sorter that provides invaluable support to the moderators? Possibly you have been a forum usher or spoken in public for the League and now want to help out a new and different level.  If you are seriously interested please plan to come to our training and learn from and share with current and former League moderators and question screeners/sorters. 

Monday, September 16, 5:30-7:00 pm at the Boulder home of Josephine Porter, Candidate Forum Coordinator 

Light food, drinks and laughter provided

Some of the many areas that will be discussed….
  • How do questions get chosen and when, why and how are they edited
  • Why impartiality and civility are important and how to set that tone with the candidates and the audience 
  • The nuts and bolts of running a smooth debate
  • Sharing tips and experiences with moderators and screeners
