This is a wonderful time of year!
A month filled with lots of fun and giving - time with family, friends and colleagues -- celebrating the wonders of life.
It would be an honor to celebrate the holidays with you at the Penn Club on December 6th as well as our ICF NYC Chapter's 15th anniversary! As the 5th largest Chapter in the world, our members have lots to celebrate! All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you there!
Please join me in giving a huge thanks to the many coaches and presenters who've contributed to our Chapter's growth and success. I'd also like to thank our past Chapter presidents, whose visionary leadership and countless volunteer hours laid the foundation for where we are today.
Here they are in service order:
Ira Dressner, Henry Barbey, Janine Schindler, Marianna Lead, Bernie Siegel, Laurie Lawson, Terry Yoffe, Paulette Rao
And, a special thank you to our volunteer Board members for their time, creativity and expertise.
Wendy L. Mantel, PCC , Susan Ginsberg-O'Sullivan, Carolyn K. Carlson, Amy Bloustine, ACC , Joy Passey , Yana Blackwelder, PCC , Robin Schletter, Mary D. Walsh, ACC,

We are celebrating membership growth! Please join me in welcoming our 17 new members and congratulating our 10 new credential holders! We applaud your professional commitment and success. Nice going!
We appreciate your membership and look forward to an exciting 2017! Check the event page often for updates. Highlights include a four-part skill builder webinar series, and a March 7th leadership coaching and PRISM award event. It will be an exciting year!
And look for new resources in 2017. The website is undergoing a major upgrade and will include membership status, Updated Member Profiles, Enhanced Profile Options and a Members Only Area with exclusive member offers and discounts including recorded events, member only live events, and announcements.
That's all for now - wishing you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy holiday season. See you on December 6th!

2016 Prism Award Honorable Mention:
Yana Blackwelder, PCC 
Coca-Cola HBC Russia adopted coaching in 2010 to facilitate the shift away from a top-down management style. Coaching in the organization has been credited with decreasing turnover, increasing employee engagement, and enhancing employees' knowledge and practice of organizational values. Currently, the organization is using coaching for change management as the organization adapts to challenges posed by Russia's economic downturn.
Prism Nominating Coach: Director of Strategic Alliances - Yana Blackwelder, PCC.

Credential Requirements Update
Last year, ICF adopted new requirements for the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentials. These new requirements took effect on October 1, 2016.
As a result, we have received an increased volume of applications prior to the October 1, 2016, policy change.
While we have planned for this change and added additional resources to review applications, it is possible that it may take longer than the estimated timeline to complete the review of your application. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to review applications as quickly as possible.
