| Dear ICF Sacramento Community,
Welcome to September 2021.
As the summer days dwindle away, the fall months are drawing closer. And while it's sad to say goodbye to summertime, the month of September offers the perfect intermediary between the long days of summer and the quickening of autumn. September is a transitional month for many of us. The kids go back to school, clients start thinking about their end-of-year goals. Companies are budgeting for new talent development initiatives and transition has begun for our ICF Sacramento Chapter board.
Fall means it is election time. The election process to fill vacant seats on next year’s ICF Sacramento Charter Chapter’s Board of Directors is now underway! The ICF Sacramento Board of Directors is seeking diverse leaders and culture-builders with a global mindset, digital transformation expertise, and the motivation to commit to a rewarding volunteer role guiding the strategy to build the future of coaching.
All ICF-credentialed Members in good standing are eligible to apply for a seat on the Board of Directors.
Please note: The deadline to apply is September 16th at midnight.
We have five openings on the ballot:
• President-Elect (responsible for supporting the needs of the membership and the members of the board. The president-elect will succeed the president without election).
• Director of Communications (responsible for creating awareness of our coaching profession and chapter, and offerings that bring additional membership value).
• Director of Finance/Treasurer (responsible for ensuring the Chapter continuity in financial management, tax reporting and related contract management. Report on the finances at the Chapter monthly. In charge of the banking relationship, checkbook and debit card).
• Director of Membership (responsible for overseeing the activities related to communication and coordinates with the Director of Strategic Alliances for the chapter and its members).
• Director at Large (members at large shall perform other duties and have authority as assigned by the president or board. Alternatively, with board approval, these board members can be assigned as co-directors for any other director role).
