In answer to the question of whether Susan Polgar's resignation has to
be accepted before it is effective, when Governor Spitzer resigned as
Governor of New York State recently, there was never any acceptance by
the New York State Legislature or any governmental body.
In the USCF, there have been numerous resignations by board members. I
am not aware of any of them that had to be accepted by the other board
members to become effective.
The following USCF board members have resigned since 1991: Doris
Barry, Helen Warren, John McCrary, Frank Camaratta, Frank Brady, Greg
Shahade, Tim Hanke and Robert Tanner. I may have left out one or two.
If, in any of those cases, the resignation was "accepted", I do not
recall it.
