New President Mike Hoffpauir (he previously served as president from 2017-2018) writes:

"I am honored to be President of US Chess and look forward to a productive and healthy dialog with the membership of our great organization. I am excited about the new Executive Board (EB) and thank the membership for voting into office such strong candidates to replace Allen Priest, Mike Nietman and Hal Sprechman, for whose service we cannot thank them enough. Although we would have preferred to meet in person, this weekend's Special Delegates Meeting demonstrated to us both the power and potential of the Delegates meeting online. We took two big steps as a 501(c)(3) by adding another voting member to the EB and moving to biennial elections; and by creating a Nominating Committee to assist in identifying top-notch candidates for future EB elections. All of us owe thanks to the Governance Task Force for bringing forward these two key governance initiatives."
