April Statement:
I am honored to be recommended by the US Chess Nominating Committee for the 2025 Executive Board Election. With a lifelong commitment to chess, I bring 18 years of experience as a parent, organizer, tournament director, and dedicated volunteer, working to strengthen US Chess while fostering valuable professional relationships across the chess world.
I served the Virginia Chess Federation for four years, leading its transition through COVID, and have been a Virginia delegate to US Chess since 2017. For the past seven years, I have contributed to the US Chess Ethics Committee, including as Chair, ensuring fairness, integrity, and accountability in governance.
With 30 years in Information Technology, I will focus on modernizing US Chess’s digital infrastructure, improving efficiency, and streamlining processes. I am committed to collaborating with other members of the Executive Board and various committees to advance US Chess’s mission.
I ask for your trust and your vote.
Sincerely,
Anand Dommalapati
