Our History
The Indiana State Chess Association (ISCA) was founded in 1942 by Glen Donley, of Logansport, Fred Flauding, of Portland, and Dale Rhead, of Gary, and was incorporated with the State of Indiana in 1994 as a Non-Profit Domestic Corporation. It is the recognized United States Chess Federation (USCF) affiliate for the State of Indiana.
How ISCA Is Governed
The organization is maintained by a Board of Directors which meets once per year in Regular Session during the State Championship tournament. At this meeting, officers are elected to the Board, to serve a term, currently of one year. The Board makes motions and votes outside of Regular Session during the year. The affiliate is a membership organization and is open to chess players of all ages.
What We Do
ISCA holds several annual championship title events. The Indiana State Championship and Indiana Class Championships are two such events. It also determines qualifiers for national USCF events.
