What are the proper steps to take when new officers are elected for an affiliate? I assume you update the officers listed for the affiliate in the TD/affiliate area. Should you (as a general rule) change the affiliate’s password? Are there any other normal actions you need to take with the USCF?
Is it any more complicated for a state affiliate? Do you need to let anyone in the USCF office know, other than updating the info on TD/A?
It’s probably a good idea to let the office know in addition to updating the list of officers and contacts via TD/A.
I’d probably change the password as a matter of course if the people authorized to access the affiliate login and update that information have changed.
What could get interesting at the state chapter level is if there is a less-than-friendly takeover and the old officers will have nothing to do with the new officers, including notifying the USCF that the officers have changed or giving the new officers the login and password.
Any particular person at the office that needs to be notified?
Luckily it’s not a “hostile takeover”. Only two of the six officers were changed.
Probably Pat Knight, pknight@uschess.org, I think she’s the one most likely to interact with state chapters on governance issues.
