For many years Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation (INC) has partnered with the Denver League of Women Voters, Historic Denver and Denver 8 TV as Denver Decides to organize and present election forums so that Denver citizens can learn about candidates for elective office and important ballot issues.  We hope you agree with us that members of registered neighborhood organizations (RNOs) should learn about and participate in local and state elections.  INC strongly hopes that INC member organizations will join and support us in presenting election forums leading up to the May 5, 2015 city election for Mayor, City Council, Auditor and Clerk and Recorder. These forums will be televised by Denver 8 TV and supporting RNOs will be recognized for their support.

We need the help of all INC Member Neighborhood Organizations to:

1. Possibly helping find forum locations, support the forum or forums in your neighborhood, by publicizing and helping with set-up, etc. Supporting groups will be announced from the podium.
2. Urge your members to attend one or more of the forums by publicizing the forum or forums for your Council Districts in your newsletters and e-mail blasts. We will send you the confirmed dates and locations soon.
3. Prepare and send us any written questions for the candidates and/or invite your members to do so.

Please contact us, as soon as possible, if you are able to join with INC in this effort.
