“Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.”
― William Arthur Ward

If you have specific experience like program planning, public relations, marketing, administration or social media, or would like to stretch your leadership skills and help drive strategic direction for the chapter we are in search of a Director of Public Relations, Director of Professional Development and a Director of Administration Assistance(Secretary). You can find the contact information for the current Board of Directors here and request copies of our past meeting minutes. Contact Michele Tevis, President, at jmtevis@att.net for more information.

| Do you know the History?
Professional coach, Thomas Leonard, started ICF in 1995 as a non-profit organization for fellow coaches to support each other and grow the profession. The following year, a president was appointed, and a board of directors established. The first ICF Chapter was established in the same year and by May 1996, there were more than 60 ICF Chapters worldwide. ICF will be twenty-five years old in 2020.

| | | Credential Holders Update
25,781: ICF Credential-holders
460: ICF Credential applications approved in March 2019
In April, ICF will launch a new software platform designed to make it easier than ever for coaches to apply for and renew their credentials. With the new platform, coaches will be able to: initiate and access a credential application or renewal application via their profile on the ICF website; complete applications over time, instead of all at once; monitor application status in real time; and begin logging CCEUs toward renewal at any time after earning a credential. More information will be shared soon via email and at https://coachfederation.org/credential-updates.
Coleen Chandler, our newly appointed Credential Officer will be reaching out to the coaches whose credential expires in December 2019 to provide assistance with the Global process. She will be sending out an e-mail in Mid-May with more details.
