It was not the Board's forum and the date was only recently announced. People do make other plans in the summer.

Directors Harris, Geary, Pinkham, and Burke were all in attendance as well. The format was kind of like speed dating, with each candidate spending 8 minutes each at several tables. Each table group could ask different questions, so different people probably got a different feel for the candidates. The table I was at asked a lot of questions about outreach to the community, budgeting, and experience with creating policy. <br /><br />I am not from D7, so I'll leave it to others to say if there were standouts or missteps. <br /><br />NSPnoreply@blogger.com
