EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTION- all USCF members age 16 or
over may vote.
Ballots will be in the June issue of Chess Life. The
May issue contains an outrageous attempt by the current
administration to influence the election, a
financial "report" by Booz and Dubeck whose main
purpose appears to be to attack Executive Board candidate Bill
Goichberg.
This "report" would be
inappropriate even if true, as Chess Life is required to be
neutral, but it is far from correct. Click
here for details.
For more information on this
critical election, see www.checkmate.us.
