Announcing Leadership Changes
March 2, 2023 Dear Chess in the Schools Community, After nearly seven years, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Debbie Eastburn will be retiring from her role this summer. We are grateful for Debbie’s years…
On Saturday, September 16th the 2017 Chess-in-the-Park Rapid Open was held at Central Park’s beautiful Bethesda Foundation. More than 700 players, ranging in age from 5 to 85 joined in the excitement of our annual kick-off event. “This year’s Chess-in-the-Park tournament was a joy to behold, as hundreds of players, of various backgrounds and ages came together to celebrate our common bond – the game of chess. A wonderful time was had by all and we sincerely thank our partner, NYC Parks for its invaluable support of the event,” said Chess in the Schools President & CEO, Debbie Eastburn.
