Candidates Forum

Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development Committee invites you to join us for a Candidates Forum on Wednesday, October 5 at 6:30 pm. The event will take place at the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center in Foxborough.

To be clear, this is not a debate. The forum is designed to gather those looking to represent the residents and businesses in the Tri-Town Chamber areas and hear your positions on issues relating specifically to business and economic development. Questions will be submitted by Chamber members and asked by a panel comprised individuals from the Economic Development Committee. The forum will be moderated by the Chamber’s Executive Director.

All participants will have the opportunity to give a brief introductory statement and closing remarks. A full outline of the agenda and format will be provided.
