Bev Lutz ICF membership provides incredible professional networking opportunities, professional and personal growth, and opportunities to explore my strengths as I volunteer in service of my profession.  My chapter really helps me stay current with coaching, thought leadership, and learn-n-earn (CEU’s) from professional development events.  But it’s the supportive coach-friends and collaborators who have made membership for me priceless. //s3.amazonaws.com/ClubExpressClubFiles/907122/graphics/BevLutz1_669008720.jpg

Irene Kelly

Being a member of ICF offers me the opportunity for certification by the industry professional standard bearer; being a member of ICF Minnesota connects me to my professional peers for networking and collaboration.  Membership in both establishes me as “credible” and provides me opportunities to learn and grow.

How do we maintain a coaching presence when our world has been turned upside down and shaken side-to-side? We are not the persons we were before this global shift and we do not yet recognize who we will become. We feel stuck in a perpetual state of in-between; a place filled with promises of tomorrow that somehow feels increasingly claustrophobic with each passing day. We are born seekers of meaning; trying to make sense of the past and present as we position ourselves toward the future. 

ICF MN Members who have paid the annual fee: Free
ICF Global & MN Members (who have not paid annual fee) and non-members: $40
 
We look forward to seeing you there In-Person!

Gaston 400pix
Pathfinder horizontal 300pix
It is time for the Gaston & Pathfinder Award Nominations!
The Gaston award recognizes a coach who exhibits distinguished service to the coaching profession and the ICF MN chapter. The award is in honor of Elaine Gaston, one of our founding members who received the first Gaston Award in 2006 for lifetime achievement and dedication to the coaching profession.

The Pathfinder is awarded to a coach who demonstrates clear and strong leadership within the ICF Minnesota chapter in support of the ICF MN mission and vision. The Pathfinder Award originated in 2021 as a way to recognize outstanding change, growth or innovation with a new ICF MN initiative.
 
Submit your nomination for either the Gaston or Pathfinder award by July 15, 2023.
 
Both awards will be given at our annual “Celebration of Excellence & Service in Coaching” in September 2023 (date & time TBD).
Our intention is to ensure that everyone has time and opportunity to nominate individuals who exemplify the true nature of the coaching profession.

If you have any questions, please contact PresidentElect@ICFMinnesota.org.
