We will hold an election to elect a Communications Representative for Fall/Winter 2026-27.

The Communications Representatives maintain a directory of email addresses for Members and interested parties, inform Members of upcoming events, promote the Club to prospective members, advertise Club Meetings and Club Events when required, and maintain the Club’s website and social media accounts. The Communications Representatives are responsible for liaising with the Hart House Communications Department.

The Hart House Chess Club employs two Communications Representatives. This election is for only one position.
