Moderator selected for Bluffton mayoral candidate forum; event moved to Middle School
Stanley Scott, Bluffton University adjunct faculty member, will moderate the Bluffton mayoral candidate forum on Wednesday, Oct. 28, according to the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, forum sponsor.

The forum’s format includes a brief introduction by each candidate. Following that, Scott will moderate the program asking questions provided in advance by members of the Bluffton chamber.
Scott holds a master’s of public affairs degree from Indiana University. At Bluffton he teaches American Political Process.
He is a founding partner of CIVICUS Associates, a consulting practice, whose clients include government, education, non-profit, small business and community organizations.
He is a senior associate with Business Mediation Services, which addresses stresses of change and conflict.
