Re: CFC PR Rep
Andy, back in the day, when you used to sign your posts with your job title from work, I believe you worked for a bank. If you still do, why don't you see if you can set up a chess team at your bank and then challenge other financial institutions to matches? I'll bet there'd be a bit of money available from your employer to help with some of the expenses (sponsorship!!). Probably a very small bit of money at first but, who knows...maybe someday, in some of the larger cities, there might be inter-FI chess leagues. :)

Re: CFC PR Rep
Hi Andy:
That train has left the station.
The governors did vote in a poll that was not binding on the executive. Depending on how you look at it, it can be said that the governors (which includes the executive) did vote for Kirsan.
In any event, regardless of how you parse that poll, the issue is now closed for all practical purposes. The CFC has endorsed Kirsan publicly, and defends its decision, and thinks it is right. There will be no change of position before the FIDE Congress vote in early August.
Admittedly, it has been a very controversial issue.
Bob A (former CFC Public Relations Coordinator)

Does the CFC Voting member get to vote for either Kasparov or Kirsan?

If we don't have enough volunteers then some positions will go unfilled. If you are volunteering to take the position then send us an email. If no one steps forward then the executive will do some of the work that the PR officer used to do but it will probably mean that we won't have as much time to come on chesstalk and answer your questions.
In fact it should be made clear that there are two separate CFC Officer positions available. Fundraising Co-ordinator and Public Relations Co-ordinator. Taking on either position allows you to become a CFC Voting Member (what we used to call Governor)

CFC Public Relations Coordinator - Position Still Vacant - Volunteer?
Originally posted by Vlad Drkulec View PostWe don't have one.
On your second question, talking to potential sponsors.
You do not have to be a voting member to be appointed to this position 'til the next July/15 CFC AGM. You only need to be a CFC member in good standing.
And once you are appointed, you then do become a CFC Voting Member, like those elected to represent the provincial affiliates.
Think it over...it is a challenge...and you will have some fun doing it.
Bob A, former CFC Public Relations Coordinator.
