Village Council Candidate Forum

Monday, September 25, 2023

2:00pm

BHA's Association Center

BHA will host a Village Council Candidate Forum on Monday, September 25, at 2:00pm in BHA’s Association Center (111 Lighthouse Wynd, Bald Head Island). The forum will be live via Zoom and recorded. The League of Women Voters (LWV) of Lower Cape Fear is managing and moderating the forum, as well as collecting and organizing the candidate questions submitted prior to the event. 

Questions for this forum from residents will be collected at an email address that the LWV has established. The email address for the Bald Head Island forum is baldheadislandforum@lwvlcf.org. No questions will be accepted that are directed to only one candidate. Instead, all questions will be sorted so that they are appropriate for all candidates. No candidates will receive the questions in advance.

Coming soon ~ Visit BHA's web page for forum details/links and the Village Council candidate biographies by clicking on the button below. (Note that some links are coming soon and that the forum recording will be posted within 24 hours after the event.)
