Candidates for trustee positions at Flathead Valley Community College will be featured at a forum Monday night in Kalispell.

The Faculty Senate will sponsor the forum from 7 to 9 p.m. in the board room inside Blake Hall on the college’s Kalispell campus.

The forum will allow candidates the opportunity to give brief summaries of their qualifications and matters of particular importance to them relative to the college. 

The forum will be moderated and audience questions will be invited.

The trustee election is May 6.

Two FVCC trustee seats are contested, representing the combined Bigfork-Columbia Falls-Whitefish high school districts.

Incumbents John Phelps and Tom Harding are being challenged by five candidates: Marion Foley of Martin City, John Fuller of Whitefish, R. Scott Sorenson of Whitefish, Thomas Brett Sward of Bigfork and Robert Webb of Hungry Horse.
