THE Saipan Chamber of Commerce 2022 gubernatorial candidate debate sold out almost immediately after the announcement of the event. We understand the high demand for this debate, and we are excited to announce that Northern Marianas College will be livestreaming the event for the community via their Facebook page. In addition to NMC’s livestreaming, we have invited media partners to join the event so that the information is well covered for individuals who were not able to secure an RSVP.
SCC will host the 2022 gubernatorial candidate debate on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022, at the World Resort Saipan, Taga Hall, from 5:45 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The Saipan Chamber of Commerce extends thanks to the community for their support as we prepare.
The chamber also extends thanks to the gubernatorial candidates for accepting our invitation and look forward to a productive and exciting event.
