Dear BCA members,
Thank you. On behalf of the Accessibility and Special Circumstances
Committee of US Chess, thank you for your help and support. I've learned
a lot from you and have yet more to learn. Together we can make chess more
accessible and inclusive for everyone in both organizations.
If you are a US Chess member, you should have received a link to the online
version of the special Accessibility Issue of Chess Life.
If you are NOT a US Chess member and can't read the special Accessibility
edition of Chess Life, let me know. I might be able to get permission to
give you a copy.
Yours in Chess,
Janelle Losoff, Chairman
US Chess Accessibility and Special Circumstances Committee
