Newsletter 2010 and the farewall message from Olena Boytsun

Dear ACP member,
Please find below the ACP Board Newsletter #2/2010 and the previous ACP Board Newsletter #1/2010.

It happened so that I should also include a farewell message there.

At the beginning of July 2010 I notified the ACP Board that I will no longer be able to act as the ACP Secretary and the ACP Board member since the 22th of July 2010, and so this day came. I joined the ACP Board in 2008 and enjoyed our team work very much as well as the communication with ACP members. I would like to thank all Board members and all ACP members for this.

My main fields of activities at the ACP were the following:

- ACP-FIDE relations – I am glad to report that in April 2010 FIDE accepted the proposition of the ACP to include the representative of the ACP Board into the FIDE Presidential Board without voting rights. During 2009-2010 I was the representative of the ACP to FIDE, and my opinion is that it is important to cooperate with FIDE on professional matters.

- Marketing and PR for the ACP – I developed promotion materials for the ACP, such as the presentation for sponsors and wider audience, Facebook Group, Twitter, press releases, informational articles etc.

- Communication with ACP members through the ACP Board Newsletter and opinion polls.

I find the aims of the ACP important and hope that I could contribute to the development of the organization.

Although I am leaving the ACP Board, I still will be the ACP member and still will be connected to chess. Since June 2010 I am working as the Marketing Director of the Ukrainian Chess Federation. The work is very interesting and requires a lot of time and energy, and therefore I took the decision to leave.

Please, enjoy the Newsletters and always feel free to drop me a line at olena@marketingchess.com

Best,
Olena Boytsun
