UChicago Chess

Who We Are

The people running things, and how to become one of them.

Leadership Team

Elected by club members each Spring, in office from Autumn. All five of us are at most meetings — say hi in person, or find us on Discord.

Who Does What

Five elected roles, and what each one is actually on the hook for.

PositionThe gist
PresidentRuns the club day to day — meetings, events, and keeping the rest of us on track. Also our rep to the Coalition of Academic Teams.
Vice PresidentBacks up the President, handles the paperwork nobody else wants, and fills in when they’re away.
TreasurerLooks after the budget and gets your reimbursements back to you.
Chair of VolunteeringRuns the teaching program and keeps us plugged into the Hyde Park and wider Chicago chess scene.
Chair of Inclusivity & OutreachBrings new people in, and makes sure the club stays a place they want to stay.

Constitution

The full rules, if you’re into that sort of thing. Elections are ranked-choice among club members — and if there is ever a perfect tie, the candidates settle it over the board, best of two at Game/15. Easily our favorite clause.
