Commentary on Position

This role began as a part of the Community Outreach Committee and grew in 2016 to include another non ICF related conference. The two conferences were close together and overloaded the Outreach team.

Before 2017 ICF was only a coach provider and worked minimally with the conference. At some point in the past we may have “owned” the coaching. We did not own the coaching in 2014, 2015 or 2016. In 2017 we made the TWC coaching ICF only working with the ICF Texas Alliance and Texas chapters to include and recruit ICF certified coaches.

We also included a trade table on the exhibit floor to increase ICF Awareness and education of the Texas population.

With the increased need for coaching and trade tables at the conference and desire to provide coaching at other conferences and trade tables this has become more than the Community Outreach Committee can oversee and utilize the coaching bench for.

Key Challenges in this Position

2018 – Determine what and where we show up and why. Not over burden or over ask our volunteers or take away from Community Outreach volunteers. Verify ICF Credentialed coaches are volunteers.
2017 – Working with the ICF Texas Alliance and getting buy in and opportunity to their chapters. Successfully ICF 100% staffed conference. Need verification of credentials at the local chapter level.
2016 - TWC – working with TWIB and knowing that there are non certified coaches, “coaching” at conference. Ideally ICF Austin would own ALL coaching at TWC like the other states do. In order to “take over” – give backbench would need to grow to over 30 coaches. Goal for 2017.
