I got to thinking last night–as dangerous as that sounds–and asked myself, “Why is Q&A only available for new candinates?” I know STC uses a railroad promotion model for Society leadership, but I think it would be a nice gesture to the Membership if the “incoming” President, VPs and other roles either not changing or changing sans voting this year also entertained questions from members. I think it would be great to see how the candidates might align with the established leadership from the replies, particularly where “one voice” is concerned (established leaders may be bound by it bit candidates still can freely speak on issues).
So, I humbly ask that the to-be-promoted leaders of STC also entertain some of the questions being asked of the candidates. I think it would help the membership both understand where the Society presently sits on these issues, compare it against the candidates, and then make an informed choice if who to vote for based on that knowledge.
What do you think?

That makes sense.
I’d suggest that the STC see this as an opportunity to reach out and try to bring people inside the org more.
