I guess at this point, I should not take anything that Sloan says seriously.
But I am puzzled by this remark. What conflict of interest are you talking
about?

1997-March 2000)

organization)

* Teaching thousands of children how to play chess as part of the school

I moved to the US in 1990. Prior to this, I also have a very extensive chess
curriculum as a player, organizer, journalist (Spanish and Portuguese) and
Director of Public Relations of the Chilean Chess Federation.
Well, this is my last communication for a while, since I am driving from Miami
to New York to volunteer at the USCF office starting on January 3, 3005.
Happy New Year to of you!

Amazing statement.
Beatriz Marinello is not volunteering to be a worker.
She is volunteering to be the boss.
She is volunteering to take over as Chief Operating Officer.
She is volunteeting to take control of the bank accounts.
She is volunteering to hire and fire people and to issue orders and
see that they are obeyed.
In order to get this tremendous power she has not submitted her resume
or informed us what her qualifications for the job are other than that
she is a strong chess player.
She has pushed out the Executive Director and the Chief Financial
Officer and is moving in to take over.
I should hope that everyone can see the conflict of interest in this.
