Question: What makes up the OSCF "membership" and governing body?
Answer: The OSCF, Inc. is a registered non-profit corporation, governed by a five-member board.
The "members" are scholastic chess clubs.
The board makes decisions and sets policies, which are brought before the membership for a vote at the annual meeting. There are no membership dues, size or affiliation requirements. Most clubs are sponsored by schools, but commercial enterprises, homeschool associations, coaching co-ops, adult chess clubs and others are welcome to join. The only requirement is that at least one function of the organization is specifically dedicated to providing training and playing opportunities to scholastic players (K-12) in Oregon. All member clubs must be primarily located in Oregon. (These are general requirements; please see the OSCF bylaws and procedures for information concerning voting privileges and other details.)
