Ames City Council Candidate Forum

Monday, 05 Oct 2009 at 7:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union

The Government of the Student Body will host a forum with Ames City Council candidates. Candidates will address issues of concern to Iowa State University students and take questions from audience members. Participants include Mayor Ann Campbell, at-large candidates Sheli Dougherty, Mike Miller and Peter Orazem; Ward 3 candidates Jeremy Davis, Ryan Doll and Brian McLain; and Ward 1 candidates Dan Rice and Tom Wacha. Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, will moderate.

Cosponsored By:
  • Government of the Student Body
  • Committee on Lectures (funded by Student Government)

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.

Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.

Lecture Etiquette

  • Stay for the entire lecture and the brief audience Q&A. If a student needs to leave early, he or she should sit near the back and exit discreetly.
  • Do not bring food or uncovered drinks into the lecture.
  • Check with Lectures staff before taking photographs or recording any portion of the event. There are often restrictions. Cell phones, tablets and laptops may be used to take notes or for class assignments.
  • Keep questions or comments brief and concise to allow as many as possible.
