Candidate Roundtable

Sunday, August 3, 2008
2:00 – 5:00 PM
Maka'eo Pavilion - Old Airport Pavilion in Kailua-Kona
Hosted by the League of Women Voters

The forum will feature mayoral candidates and candidates from Council Districts 6, 7, 8, and 9. The interactive format gives everyone who attends the chance to sit with candidates in a small group, asking questions directly.

At this forum, a moderator will pose a question to each candidate. Each candidate will have one and one half minutes to answer the question. Following these responses, candidates will disperse to separate tables to discuss the issue with small groups. Each table has a facilitator as well as resource information. These sessions are likely to last between 5 and 10 minutes.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization which encourages public participation in government. It does not support any particular candidate. For more information, call 328-8514.
