Presidents Message
Welcome to August!  It has been a topsy-turvy time, hasn’t it.  And the end isn’t quite in sight yet.  But that hasn’t stopped many of us from finding new ways of doing life.  People and communities are coming together in ways they’ve never done before.  Our lives, our world is being reshaped in lasting ways - some to the good, and some, not so good.  In whatever place you find yourself, I hope that you see this reshaping, these changes, as opportunity.

We have more coaches attending our online classes and meetings then ever before.  To be honest I'm not sure how you're finding about these opportunities and I'd love to know how.  Please let me know how you're finding our online classes, meetings and education opportunities?  You can email me at DirectorCommunications@ICFSacramento.org.  I'm looking forward to spreading the word about ICF Sacramento and serving our community the best way I can.
