Village Trustees serve three-year terms. The date of the election is Tuesday, April 6, 2010.

The Candidate Forum is an open format to allow the candidates to answer questions posed by the audience and non-biased questions through a moderator. Each question will be directed to all candidates. All moderation, timing and sorting of questions will be done by the League of Women Voters to ensure impartiality to the proceeding.

The Chamber of Commerce will once again organize and host this event. The public is welcome to attend and the local media will also be invited. Residents can enjoy this event and an opportunity to personally meet and discuss concerns with the candidates following the Forum.

The purpose of the Forum is to introduce and educate Chamber members and the citizens of Greendale to the issues facing their community. As an organization, the Greendale Chamber of Commerce will remain non-partisan and will not endorse any of the candidates.
