Opening
I鈥檇 like to thank everyone for taking the time to join us today for our (session name) with our candidate (candidate name).
To get us started, I鈥檝e asked our candidate to begin by giving a brief introduction before addressing our prompt. The opening prompt is (insert prompt here). After (she/he/they) have finished, I will begin our moderated Q&A. Without further ado, please join me in welcoming (name).
(Candidate gives presentation)
At this time, we will now open the floor to questions from our attendees relevant to our candidate鈥檚 presentation, their academic or professional preparation for the role, or their professional interest in the role. (Note: it may be helpful to have folks submit questions on notecards so that you can more easily control what the candidate does/doesn鈥檛 hear; it is also helpful to have some feeder questions to get things started).
Please join me in thanking our candidate! (Pause for applause)
Closing
Thank you all for your participation in today鈥檚 forum. As a reminder, I will email everyone the feedback link shortly. Please keep in mind that the feedback link will only be open until (time; date). Have a great day!
