On October 20th, 2024, the annual Meet the Candidates Forum was hosted at Edgemont Jr/Sr High School. Organized by OCA-WHV, seven candidates and County Legislator David Imamura spoke to over 60 families, with a great Q&A session led by Dr. Johnson Qian between each speech. The student emcees were Sophie Xie, YOCA Vice President and Meet the Candidates Coordinator, and James Qian, a senior at Edgemont High School. We had Shelly Mayer, Peter Harckham, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, David Imamura, Maryjane Shimsky, Amy Paulin, Tricia Lindsay, and George Latimer speak to an enthusiastic audience, and received great feedback from the community!
Thank you to Johnson and James for great questions and introductions! Thanks to Jaclyn for bringing flyers & microphones, Jeanhee for bringing refreshment, and Dan & Helen for bringing the OCA-WHV banner!
There was a great turnout today, both within board members (shoutout to Bill, Rose, Meow, Li, and etc.) and with the community (we had more than 60 families come)! This forum received very positive feedback.
Thanks to all those who have helped bring this forum together.
