Therefore, a major focus of the program will be related to the candidates’ participation in volunteer or advocacy activities that provide social or livability benefits to the community.  In evaluating candidates, the Fiesta Court Committee will be looking for dedicated individuals with solid leadership skills, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to honesty and integrity.
