Symphony Village Residents,

This is a reminder that the second Meet The Candidates Forum is scheduled for  Thursday, October 29^th at 6:30 PM.

The video of the first Meet The Candidates Forum is available on the Governance page of the official Symphony Village website ( www.symphonyvillage.net/hoa-board ) or by clicking here.

Please note that the questions submitted for the Tuesday, October 27^th Meet The Candidates forum will not be repeated. Index cards are available for Thursday’s Forum in the Wall Street Room and please follow the procedure outlines below.

Due to the current situation, this year’s HOA Candidates Forum will be unlike any that we have had in the past. However:

1. As in the past each candidate will be allowed to make an opening statement that we are hoping to keep to one minute per candidate.
2. Once their statements have been completed we will ‘open’ the floor to questions. Unlike in the past, where we were all in the Club House and asked the questions in person, this year we are asking the residents to submit their questions in writing. This can be done either in advance by dropping off a 3 x 5 card in the box in the Clubhouse or by using the Q&A or Chat options on the zoom screen.
3. Questions will be directed to all candidates unless specifically asked of one candidate. If you have a preference at which session the question will be asked, please specify. The Nominating Committee reserves the right not to ask any question they deem inappropriate. (The phrase “deem inappropriate questions” means inappropriate language and if the question were a personal attack on a candidate.)
4. After the pre-submitted written questions (the 3x5 index cards are in the Wall St. room at the Club House for your convenience) are asked, the Q & A questions entered on Zoom will be answered and lastly live questions by the residents on Zoom. The reason for this will be done to make the best use of time.
5. We will try to limit each candidate to 45 seconds to respond to each question.
6. Time permitting, we will open the questioning to live questions. Unlike in the past there will be no back and forth between the questioner and the candidates.
7. We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may create. The committee is trying to make the process as smooth and informative as possible.

Since each forum will be recorded, they will be available for viewing via the appropriate link and then will be deleted on the day of the Annual Meeting.
