AUSTRALIAN CHESS FEDERATION CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ACF PRESIDENT AND OTHER EXECUTIVE POSITIONS

 

 

The annual National Conference of the Australian Chess Federation (ACF) elects members of the ACF Executive each alternate year. The 2013 National Conference will be convened on Wednesday, 9 January 2013 during the rest day of the 2013 Australian Open Chess Championship in Sydney and will elect members of the Executive, including the ACF President.

 

Pursuant to the ACF Constitution, nominations are now called for the offices of ACF President, Deputy President, Vice President (two positions), Secretary and Treasurer.

 

The ACF Constitution specifies that candidates of the ACF President shall be limited to persons who have “advised the Federation in writing of their willingness to serve as President (with) such advice having been received by the Federation not less than 90 days before the date on which the annual National Conference at which the elections are due is scheduled to start”. The ACF’s rules regarding the election of the ACF President can be viewed on the ACF website http://auschess.org.au/.

 

Nominations for the other members of the Executive, unlike the nomination for the President, can be received up to the time the election to fill each office is due to be held. Also, if there is no nomination for President within the prescribed period, nominations for President may be received as for other Executive members.
