SHOUTOUT: Super awesomesauce THANKS to Katalia Alexander for helping to organize these, as well as to all the Candidates and our host locations!
Thanks in advance for your cooperation, and good luck to all!

Different questions were asked in the two forums: Do you have any plans to give the candidates the questions they were not asked in their forum and invite them to respond on the blog and/or Facebook? I would love to read everyone’s response to every question.
