Hey! I\u2019m Naman, a Grade 12 IBDP student at Maple High School and CITL’s Co-President this year. When I\u2019m not busy with school, you can usually find me hanging out with friends, running cross country, playing ultimate frisbee, or just relaxing. As the Co-President, I’m eager to lead the executive team and continue to spread the joy of chess to players of all ages and backgrounds.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
