Hello KCYD,

Endorsement Process Update

We have a major update regarding our endorsement process. Due to the large number of submissions, we will be opening our questionnaire portal ([link removed]) again to ensure that every prospective candidate has an equitable opportunity to apply. That being said, we will no longer have an endorsement meeting on Thursday, May 18th. Instead, we will meet on Wednesday, May 24th and Thursday, May 25th both at 6:00pm. Both meetings will be virtual. The submission portal will close on Saturday, May 20th at 11:59pm. On Wednesday, May 17th, we will notify candidates and KCYD members of what positions we’ll be discussing on each date. Thank you for being flexible with us as we navigate this process, we appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing you next week! In the meantime, make sure your KCYD membership is up to date ([link removed]) , email [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) to check if you’re unsure.
