After this, the delegates were given the opportunity to meet the candidates who are running for positions on the 2001 International Executive Board. This process consists of extreme pressure for each of the candidates and they are given the opportunity to respond to questions and address situations they may face during their term. The candidates forum is an excellent way for any of the delegates who are voting to make decisions about the best people for the office. Presidential candidates Ari Rubinstein, Aaron Platt, and Eitan Hersh think about how they will answer their next question during candidates forum. During the evening, there were small groups to work on the building of chapters and regions.
