Congratulations to all of the candidates for meeting all of the requirements! We are grateful for your willingness to serve the Catawba Nation.

If you have already been featured through Catawba Future, we invite you to contribute a short video clip (no longer than five minutes), allowing you to further express your unique perspective and experiences to our community.

• Option 1: Record thoughtful responses to questions from the community that will encourage our community to vote for you. If you need a list of questions, we'll be happy to help. Once recorded, email us to arrange a file transfer.

• Option 2: If you prefer a dynamic conversation, we can arrange a Google Meet session at your convenience, where we delve a little deeper into your story.

Please ensure that your video clip remains concise and focused, with a maximum duration of five minutes. This will allow for easy sharing and maintain viewer engagement. Please also note that videos will be uploaded ‘as is’ unless they need to be cropped for time. Our team will not edit the videos in any other way. If your video disparages any other candidate, we reserve the right to withhold it from publishing.

We value your voice and the impact it can make. To participate, send an email to media@catawbafuture.com to arrange a video transfer or conference. We look forward to featuring your videos!
