Local Candidate Forums in October
The Chamber is hosting Local Candidate Forums on October 11 and on October 18 at Community Church, 40946 Big Bear Boulevard, Big Bear Lake, CA. The forums are free to attend and open to the public.
The first forum will be held Thursday, October 11 at 5:00 p.m. The forum will include questions to candidates running for elected office for only the Big Bear Airport District and the Big Bear Lake Municipal Water District. The second forum will be held Thursday, October 18 at 5:00 p.m. Candidates on that date will only include those running for office for the Big Bear City Community Services District, Bear Valley Unified School District and Bear Valley Community Healthcare District.
Each forum will be a moderated question-and-answer format, with relevant issues covered in questions received in advance and those received from the floor the night of the forum. All questions will be reviewed first to assure fairness and lack of bias. The moderator will assure time constraints are met to allow everyone fair opportunity to speak. Each candidate will be asked to give a 3-minute opening statement and a 2-minute closing statement. Candidates will have one minute to respond to each question.
