A January Tradition-Past President's Brunch

 


On a Saturday in January every year, a gathering happens that many of our members may not know about. Yet it is an important tradition within our ICF North Texas chapter. The prior year’s Board, the incoming Board and all Past Presidents of ICF North Texas are invited to a brunch to recognize leaders of the chapter and acknowledge the contributions of all who have led our chapter to where it is today.

 

Past Presidents in attendance at this year’s brunch were: Jim Cooper, Judy Feld, Randy Fernandes, Neena Newberry, Catherine Oleksiw, Jude Olson, Neil Phillips, Susan Shapiro, Alma Weaver-Jones and Beverley Wright. Each were invited by Mike Caracalas, 2019 ICF NT President, to share a memory of their year leading our organization. The accomplishments shared truly reflect a story of chapter highlights throughout the years. And, it was agreed that documenting the chapter history is an important priority. For more information or to share history of the chapter, please contact Catherine Oleksiw at past-pres@icf-nt.com.

 

Catherine acknowledged the 2018 outgoing Board of Directors with words of gratitude and also with a gift of a journal (perhaps to capture those memories of their time on the Board). The meeting concluded with a welcome to the 2019 Board along with well-wishes for a great year ahead from all our chapter’s past leaders.

 

We are fortunate to have so many people who remain connected and engaged in supporting our chapter--long after their formal leadership role has ended.

News from ICF Global

ICF Global Membership
Renew Now Through March 31

 

One requirement of full membership in the ICF North Texas Chapter is that you’re also in good standing with the ICF Global organization. It is often misunderstood that a membership in ICF North Texas includes a membership in ICF Global and it does not. These are two separate memberships, each with unique benefits to you—the coach and member.

January 29 was the beginning of the renewal season for all ICF Global memberships. If you are a member of ICF Global, your membership expires on March 31, 2019. All memberships now expire on the same date each year and that is March 31.

You will receive emails about the renewal process but if you want to get a jump on it, you can renew at https://coachfederation.org/renew-membership.

Information on the benefits of membership can be found on the respective websites for ICF North Texas and ICF Global.

For questions, contact memberships@icf-nt.com.
