July 15th is the deadline to have any initial candidate introductions to the TK Editor so they can be published in the upcoming issue of TK, to be printed early within the first week of August.  Soon after July 15th, you will receive a sample of your formatted introductions for review and modification (so you will know exactly what your introduction will look like in the upcoming issue of TK and you will have the opportunity to revise for content and space restrictions).   Again, candidates do get 1/2 page in TK for no cost.   Any additional space can be purchased at the current advertisement rates. It is recommended that candidates include a photograph for inclusion in any introductions.
