  Madison 2019 Mayoral Candidate

  Time: 6:30pm-8:30pm

  Location: 100state, 316 W Washington Ave #675

  Come meet with mayoral candidates and their staff to learn about their campaigns. You’ll get an inside look into their vision for the future of Madison and you’ll have the opportunity to ask the questions that matter to you one-on-one. This will not be a forum and no stage time will be given to candidates. This is a way for members of the Madison Black Chamber of Commerce, the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Dane County, 100state, and OPEN to have exclusive access to candidates as we enter the 2019 Spring Primary Election on February 19, 2019.

  Refreshments and light appetizers will be provided.

  Follow the event page on Facebook and we'll keep you updated as the candidates RSVP!

  We invite you to join OPEN for our historic 10^th Annual Dinner, a celebration of the work that OPEN has accomplished in networking with, building the development of, and advocating for LGBTQ+ individuals in our community. We have reached some key milestones in OPEN’s history in 2018 including holding a record number of events that engaged a broader base of the local LGBTQ+ community, reached a record number of members in our 10-year history, and began the important work of advocating for our community members.

  We are in the process of finalizing our Keynote Speaker but we promise you will not be disappointed. Madison’s very own radio personality, Aaron Rogers, will emcee with music provided by DJ Nick Nice. We will also honor the 2018 OPEN Community Grant Recipient, Queen Climb Social and award the 2019 OPEN Community Grant Recipient. New this year we will announce the first OPEN 2019 Community Advocate Award Winner.
