The Greater Whitewater Committee urges voters to meet the faces behind the April ballot at their upcoming social networking event.

The Greater Whitewater Committee (GWC) will be hosting its annual meeting; immediately following will be a public event where community members can personally meet with their candidates for the upcoming April ballot. 

The event will be formatted as a speed network rotation where attendees will have the opportunity to personally meet with the candidates. The GWC encourages community members to partake in this event to help better understand the faces behind the April ballot. The candidates will each have their own table and every five-to-seven minutes, community members will rotate, in no specific order, their conversations with these candidates. The GWC hopes that this event will help the community members engage and build relationships in a comfortable setting. 

The GWC’s annual meeting will take place on Thursday, February 12th between 4 and 5 pm at 841 Brewhouse banquet hall: 841 E Milwaukee St., Whitewater, WI 53190. The speed networking will begin at 5:30 p.m. immediately following. 

“We are very excited to host this event. This is meant to be a unique opportunity for citizens to talk one on one with each candidate,” said GWC President, Jeffery Knight, “We are excited to see people being passionate about local elections, both common council and school board representatives.”
