Voter education for 2011 AAUW elections
The AAUW Starter Kit was mailed earlier this month to all branches, and is now available online at aauw.org (see the link highlighted on the home page or go to the Member Center and look for the Starter Kit link).
It includes an overview PowerPoint — great for sharing with branch boards. One item, though:
“AAUW will not host discussions of candidate qualifications; that must be done in separate member-generated venues.”
So, members, what are your thoughts on this? Is something like election2009.bbvx.org needed again? Is someone thinking about hosting “virtual candidate forums”? Would another strategy be better for candidates?
Do we need something like the voter education so many branches do for public elections — or is this election just not worth the effort?
