President's Message
Dear Coaches,
 
I hope you are well - 
 
We need your help!  ICF Foundation's Ignite project provides coaching to leaders of organizations that ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. This six-month coaching project will complete by August 25, 2018. ICF NYC is seeking one or more educational organizations to partner with us.  Do you work with such an organization that would benefit from pro-bono coaching by ICF Credentialed coaches?  Chapter member Angelo Moultair is leading this initiative.  Contact us to learn more. 
 
Ready to party? Then, join us on November 15th as we kick off the holidays at Zio's Ristorante. We'll celebrate the spirit of coaching with wonderful colleagues, friends, food, and fun. Looking forward to seeing you there - it won't be the same without you! Learn more and register here.   
 
Sending a big thank you to our October presenters: Dr. Krister Lowe for his October 25th Team Coaching presentation. The sold-out crowd experienced a team re-boot case study and discovered how the Five Knowledge Centers can be used to refocus a team.  Learn more about the process here; and to Dr. June Rousso for hosting CoachCafé!, a Chapter learning community that invites members to gather and explore ways to enrich their professional coaching businesses. To learn more, or to host a CoachCafe! session, contact [email protected]
 
New Chapter members - a warm welcome to our 17 newest Chapter members.  Glad to have you in our professional coaching community.  Looking forward to getting to know you!  You've put our Chapter at more than 700 members!
 
New Credentials - Congratulations to our seven newest PCC and ACC credential holders.  An ICF credential is a differentiator. Wishing you much continued success in your professional pursuits. Did you know? More that 50% of our members are ICF credentialed.  We're here to get you the information you need to apply for yours!  Contact ICF to learn about the process.  
 
ICF Global Board Elections are open for Director and Global Chair positions.  Meet the candidates here and be sure to cast your vote! 
 
That's it for now.  Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving with your families and loved ones!
