Korey Kormick Promoted to Director of Member Services

Korey Kormick, who has been the US Chess Technical & Ratings Manager since March 2021, has been promoted to Director of Member Services effective today. In this role, Korey will be a member of the US Chess Senior Management team and responsible for building and managing membership and associated services as well as managing membership staff to maintain consistently high-quality service to US Chess members and others. He will continue to provide the ratings and technical services he has been responsible for to date.

Kormick has been involved in the chess industry for most of his professional career, because he believes that “Chess is an activity that encourages you to rise to the occasion – to analyze a situation and synthesize a solution.” A student of history, he still enjoys learning by watching documentaries and taking continuing education classes at his alma mater, Rhodes College. His favorite chess quote comes from the philosophy of the 2nd World Chess Champion, Dr. Emanuel Lasker, “Chess teaches us how our life might have turned out, given equal opportunities and an absence of chance.”
