How to Conduct a Forum
2010 is another major election year, filled with campaign ads, annoying phone calls, and candidate debates! You or your organization may be considering hosting such a debate.
League debates and forums are popular and respected because of the way they're conducted. The League style forum is designed to provide a fair, impartial setting where each candidate has the same opportunity to present themselves and their ideas. The Handbook of how it's done is now online - just click here. (Due to technical problems, the covers of the booklet can be viewed separately here)
