Ground rules:

  1. Only one candidate at a time can speak
  2. Each candidate must wait their turn
  3. No one will be allowed to make any personal attacks
  4. Candidates will be asked to answer the questions only and not to specifically respond to or comment to other candidates
  5. A time-keeper will notify the candidate when only 30 seconds are remaining in order to complete their answer
  6. Candidates will be asked to answer the questions in random order thereby giving no candidate a “first or last” advantage
  7. If time permits, candidates may entertain written submitted questions.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A “TENTATIVE” AGENDA”. 

YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE OF ANY NECESSARY CHANGES.
