We'll begin at  7:00 with club business, including the presentation of the club's annual audit report, and a vote on new bylaws changes – specifically, club endorsement process language, which can be found on pages 13 to 18 in the linked draft document.

As was the case in September, here are the rules for the candidate forums:
  • As always, non-club members are welcome to attend the meeting, but only club members are permitted to submit questions to the candidates.
  • Each candidate will be given a two-minute opening statement and a one-minute closing statement.
  • No questions will be taken from the floor once the forums begin.
  • Questions will be asked by the moderator only.
  • The moderator reserves the right to ask any question of the candidates at any time, and may not necessarily use every submitted question.
  • To ensure fairness, no one attending may applaud or cheer specific candidate answers, but may applaud candidate statements and introductions.

All club members in good standing, according the qualifications in club bylaws, will be given two index cards after signing in – one to submit a single question for the D-1 forum, and another to submit a single question for the D-9 forum. Those cards will be collected and given to the moderators ahead of each forum session.
