        PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

"No matter what opinions others have of you, your destiny will always be in your hands. You decide what you are capable of, no one else. There is no limitation except those you create in your own mind."

Dear fellow coaches and friends of ICF Sacramento,

On January 5, 2019, the Board of Directors of ICF Sacramento held its first retreat of the year and spent many hours hashing out a plan to optimize your membership and the Chapter’s impact on the greater Sacramento region. On January 8th, the Board had the opportunity to connect with you, our members, in an exciting and interactive way.  You shared some key ideas around membership engagement, programs and sponsorships. You also asked us to build out our annual calendar as much as possible for the year so you could plan ahead.  

We are excited to say that the program calendar is updated and on our website for the year. We have also started building the 2020 calendar of events, so if you know of speakers or programs that our members may be interested in, please share that information with our Programs Director, Joe Littell, at joe@excellence.coach.   

Per your feedback, we are continuing with three programs introduced in 2018 - the monthly Lunch & Learns and Core Competency Calls, and the International Coaching Week. Additionally, we have initiated an additional program called Membership Engagement. 
Membership Engagement is based our the motto for the year: “Ask Not What the Chapter Can Do For You…But What You Can Do For The Chapter.” The goal is to create a culture and feeling of in-depth belonging for our members, and more involvement in our activities. Advancing in this direction, we are kicking off our Special Strengths Volunteer Drive, and Quarterly Celebration Events to celebrate new and newly-credentialed members. Location and details are in the works. Stay tuned for more information.

I am excited about the possibilities and we have a great year ahead!  WE want to continue building a community of coaches where you feel connected, supported and are thriving wherever you are in your journey!  
Best,

Michele Tevis, President
ICF Sacramento Charter Chapter
