Member Nation in ICCF WORLD ZONE

OUR AIM
The ICCF aim is to promote International Correspondence Chess as a way to meet and establish friendships with people throughout the world in peaceful competition. There is only one language on the chess board.

OUR ORGANIZATION

The ICCF has been the organization for international correspondence chess since World War II. There are approximately eighty member countries organized into three zones. The ICCF Executive Board consists of a President,  General Secretary,  Finance Director,  World Tournament Director,  Marketing Director, Services Director  and three Zonal Directors (click here for more details on ICCF, its history, statutes and all ICCF officers). The zones are Europe, World Zone (Americas and Pacific) and Asia/Africa. The ICCF-US is the National Federation that is the official US affiliate of the ICCF. The ICCF-US National Federation Representative / Director has administration duties for all international correspondence chess for United States players. There are currently two major member organizations of the ICCF-US. They are USCF and CCLA. Members of these organizations are automatically members of the ICCF.

The ICCF-US National Federation Representative / Director has assembled a team of officers, Tournament Directors, a Webmaster and various appointees to serve your needs as the ICCF-US Board. The ICCF Officials, Zonal Directors and committee members are all volunteers. If you would like to volunteer your time, please contact the ICCF-US National Federation Rep.

ICCF-US belongs to the World Zone and is the largest member federation in the zone. World Zone is led by the Zonal Director who is elected by the National Representatives to represent their interests on the ICCF Executive Board.

The following pictoral section will introduce you to your ICCF-US and other volunteers who you may need to contact.

Please click on a selection to see the list of officials in which you are interested (with email addresses where possible).

Note: Until 1Jan18 (inception of World Zone) ICCF-US was a member nation in NAPZ which does not have a separate website, hence ongoing (NAPZ turnament sections not yet closed out) and historic NAPZ information remains on this site where appropriate. Also note that all USA IAs are listed under the "USA Title Holders" page available from the left hand menu on the home page.
