| How to
Volunteer: |
| MACA, being an
organization chartered for the express purpose of promoting chess, has
a wide range of activities it would like to perform. The
organizations bylaws provides an outline of major areas to help guide
us in our efforts. |
| While the Eastern region
of Massachusetts has a sizeable pool of players who participate in
weekend tournaments and attend clubs, the number of people who are
able and willing to give of their time to the grand purpose of
promoting chess, unfortunately is small. In fact, very small. |
| Whether you have a
you have a professional skill or even just time you are willing to
donate to further the cause of chess in Massachusetts, it is almost
certain that MACA can use your contribution. |
| The fastest and easiest
way to get involved is to contact the board of directors and let them
know that you are interested in helping out in some way. You can
contact the board by emailing
Board@MassChess.org |
| If you would like to
scope out the possible ways you can contribute, we recommend you spend
time looking at the Board Activities
pages. There you will find much information about the
organization and the current activities. Another good point of
reference is to look at the
Contacts page
and look at the standing committees. You will most likely find
that there are a number of vacant coordinator positions. This
usually indicates that there is zero activity going on in that area of
chess development. |
| It is very feasible that
you could contribute significantly to many of our efforts via your own
computer. For example, you could serve as a proof reader or
contributor to our award winning magazine, Chess Horizons. |

| For
Scholastics Chess Parents: |
| If you have a child
participating in scholastics chess and would like to offer assistance
in the many scholastic activities MACA runs, we recommend explore our
Scholastics pages and contact the scholastics coordinator.
Assisting scholastics can be as simple as acting as a hall monitor at
events. While this may seem trivial, please take us at our word,
any assistance helps us a great deal. |
