A time of change: English Chess Federation

At its forthcoming AGM, in Oct-12, the ECF will be holding elections for various senior-level positions; this will include appointing a new President, CEO and Finance Director. After this, the new Board will re-appoint various Managers (or appoint replacements), as deemed appropriate.

One recent surprise, was the resignation of  ECF President, CJ de Mooi; on 08-Sep, he was stepped down with immediate effect, having accepted a new role he considered incompatible with his ECF responsibilities.

The Board expressed their thanks to CJ for his contribution to English chess during the three years of his service as President.  To keep up to date on the latest developments, including the candidates election statements, see: Director /Official page
