Recognizing that local chapter organizers may feel like the American Go Association is more focused on ranks, large tournaments and funding than small tournaments and club atmosphere, AGA Volunteer Coordinator Nicholas Jhirad says “We also strive to meet chapter personnel needs” that “may be as simple as a coder to develop a club website, a few people to help with outreach, or those vital extra hands at a tournament. If you have an idea for your chapter and you want a few boots on the ground, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate and put you in touch with those resources that we have!” Reach Jhirad at volunteer@usgo.org, which is also where go players interested in volunteering should contact him.
