Candidate Forums are a chance for homeowners to meet the candidate(s), sometimes for the first time. This meeting offers the opportunity for the candidates to make a first impression on homeowners. It also allows the homeowner to become an essential part of an election. Successful Candidate Forums are organized and informational. While the Candidate Forum is not compulsory for the election, it is a valuable tool for candidates and homeowners. Candidate Forums lay the foundation for any candidate's platform and beliefs, helping to establish trust and confidence among voters. The Election Committee will be responsible for running the Candidate Forum.

Questions for the candidates to be addressed during the Candidate Forum (time permitting) should be sent to our Community Manager (manager@cascadesriverhall.com).
How long is a term for a Board Director? Director terms are for 2 years.
Do I need prior Board experience to be on the Cascades Board? No. While having prior experience is a favorable quality, enthusiasm and willingness to work for the community are key attributes.
