After careful consideration, the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce has made the decision to cancel our upcoming Candidate Forum on October 21.

We recognize that this is an especially busy time for candidates and an important time for voters as they prepare for the upcoming election. We want to be respectful of everyone’s time and always ensure that our programming provides meaningful value to the candidates, our members, and the broader community. With that in mind, we have decided to cancel this year’s forum.

We appreciate the candidates and community members who expressed interest in participating, and we remain committed to fostering informed, constructive engagement between our business community, elected officials, and those seeking public office.

Thank you for understanding.
