The following ladies and gentlemen have served as the Presidents of the organizations which evolved into the American Contract Bridge League. They have given their time, their energy, their administrative skills, and their devotion to establish a unity among the many bridge players in North America and around the world.
They deserve our recognition, our admiration, and our thanks for all their efforts, their time, and their works.
If any bridge player reviewing this web page has any picture of a bridge player not shown here and would like to contribute that picture for the completion of this web page, we would greatly appreciate this contribution.
