09.24.22 The Maine Chess Association is now accepting nominations for all four officer positions and all four director positions for the 2022 election cycle, which begins on December 1, 2022. All officer positions are electable to two-year terms, and all director positions are electable to one-year terms.

The Maine Chess Association is in need of help from its membership like never before. New leadership is needed to move MECA forward at every level. I ask you emphatically: please consider giving back to the Maine chess community by running for a board spot, an officer position, or by joining a committee. If you have questions about a particular role or are interested in a nomination in this year's upcoming board election, please contact me at mdudley@chessmaine.org.

Nominations must be in by November 30, 2022, and do not require a second.

President Michael Dudley and Treasurer Oisin O'Searcoid are not expected to run for reelection to their offices in 2023.
