Speed Campaigning with the Cobourg Candidates
Speed Campaigning is a “Meet the Candidates” event that was developed by the Northumberland Central Chamber of Commerce to provide a format that facilitates direct interaction between the voting public and the Municipal Candidates. Our objective in developing this format was to facilitate personal contact between constituents and candidates in an efficient manner that respects the time investment of everyone involved. This is not a debate.
For this event, there will be as many tables as there are participating candidates, and pre-registered constituents will be assigned to a table as they arrive. Guests arriving together will be seated at consecutive tables.
Once registration is complete, the host will call the event to order, briefly review the format, and invite all Municipal Candidates to present a 2 minute overview of their campaign platform. Following those opening statements, Candidates will each take a seat at a different table and a bell will ring, signaling the beginning of five uninterrupted minutes of discussion, questions and answers in a free-form, round-table conversation. The bell will ring again after five minutes signaling the end of that session. The candidates will then move to the next table, the bell will ring to begin the discussion, and so on until the candidates have all completed the full circuit and every voter has had the opportunity for direct interaction with every candidate.
Participation in this event is limited to 136 persons,
so you MUST PRE-REGISTER with the NCCofC to reserve your seat.
