While President, I was also editor/publisher of The Chess Journalist, and included a financial report in every issue, which I intend to continue doing if elected. Also, any member may contact me via e-mail for a current updating of our financial status, and I will respond as quickly as I can do so. I ask for your support. I am not running against anyone, but for the office itself."
