Our goal as a chapter is to win this award in 2020/2021.  We will be looking to build a committee with you all as we brainstorm possible non-profits our Chapter would want to partner in our community.  Please stay tuned for more information or if you are interested in leading the committee contact Michele Tevis at michele@i2ecoaching.com.

In May, ICF launched 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 are 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 CCEs toward renewal at any time after earning a credential.
