The ICF Professional Coaches Board of Directors is a body of elected members who govern the affairs or the organization, which is a membership association for trained, professional coach practitioners. Its purpose is to lead the global advancement of the coaching profession through its members and chapters worldwide. The Board of Directors is comprised of no more than nine members – nominated based on competencies of exceptional boards. Each director serves a two-year term, with a maximum of two terms.
The ICF Professional Coaches Nominating Committee will conduct an initial review of completed applications to narrow the field of applicants based on criteria for Board membership and requirements for the upcoming year’s Board of Directors. They will invite selected applicants to participate in an interview, submit a brief presentation and complete the Hogan assessment. Once candidates are selected for the ballot, all applicants will be notified of their status and an election will be held.
ICF Professional Coaches’ bylaws require that the Nominating Committee members represent the diversity of our membership, possess appropriate experience within ICF, demonstrate competence in the task of addressing leadership talent for Board service and embody a global mindset. Applications for the 2022 ICF Professional Coaches Nominating Committee closed on March 25 at 5 p.m. EDT (New York).
