April Statement:
Fellow Members,
Four years ago, many of you elected me to join the Executive Board. My only interest was to serve chess nationally as faithfully as I had done locally in Northeast Florida and then for the entire state as President.
As a new member at-large, I wanted to learn the culture and show myself as an effective team member while quickly understanding issues and offering my leadership, project, and professional experiences. The board received me warmly and appreciated my involvement. I spent significant time directly engaging and listening to our members around the country as a player, tournament director, event organizer, Vice-President (twice), and our Organization’s President. I have been recommended by the Nominating Committee and I humbly ask for your vote to continue to serve you on the E.B.
