Candidate Forum
In partnership with the Asheville branch of the NAACP and the YMI Cultural Center, Gamma Gamma Omega sponsors a candidate forum for city, county, state and federal candiates to present their prospective platforms and answer questions from the public on how they would better serve the Asheville-Buncombe County area. The purpose of the forum is to highlight the candiates' background and discuss issues affecting the Asheville-Buncombe County area.
