In an effort to introduce the President-Elect candidates to our membership, we invite our members to join a series of Town Halls held at varied times. This way, any SPS member regardless of their region can join and have the opportunity to ask the candidates questions.

• Town Hall 1: Wednesday, 22 January from 7:00am – 8:30am Eastern - Register Here
• Town Hall 2: Tuesday, 28 January from 1:00pm – 2:30pm Eastern - Register Here
• Town Hall 3: Thursday, 30 January from 7:00pm-8:30pm Eastern - Register Here

The SPS Town Halls will primarily be a Question and Answer format with the candidates.  Advance questions are strongly encouraged and can be submitted in the registration for the Town Halls. The SPS Town Halls will not be recorded and each is likely to be unique.  Please make the effort to join at least one of the sessions to learn more about our candidates and their vision for the SPS.

Please register and submit your questions by Friday, 17 January 2025!
