In non-partisan moderated Candidate Forums, candidates give short opening statements, answer questions submitted by the audience, and end with closing statements. There are limitations on candidate's participation in a forum when their opponent does not accept an invitation to participate.

Meet and Greets are more informal and allow you to talk one-on-one with the candidates. All candidates are invited and can attend whether or not their opponents accept the invitation to participate.
