2012 ICF Membership Renewal, With a Twist

The membership renewal season is upon us, and you might have heard that there will be some changes this year. We'll do our best to keep you informed, and we ask that you please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the new requirement for ICF membership. 

The TWIST:

Straight from the ICF Global website, the following new Membership Eligibility Requirement (MER) is being communicated:

"As of April 1, 2013, individuals must have completed at least 60 hours of coach-specific training* to remain a member, in addition to paying membership dues and agreeing to abide by the ICF Code of Ethics." 

To get the specific information on how this requirement is being applied please check out the following link on the Global website known as the MER "landing page" http://coachfederation.org/mer/ .  If you still have questions, please email them to membership@icfmetrodc.org.

What Do I NEED to DO?

Membership renewal is scheduled to open in mid-February and run through early June. Please be sure you maintain accurate information as you renew by indicating your credential or your completion of the 60 hours on the renewal form as applicable. 

What do I get out of ICF Membership anyway?

The value of membership in the Metro DC chapter of ICF, the largest in North America, is well known to our nearly 700 member coaches. Our chapter provides a vital resource for building your practice through networking, education, marketing opportunities, and community awareness and outreach. Chapter members enjoy our “Find a Coach” service to increase your visibility to those seeking a coach; member discounts to chapter-sponsored events and affordable member rates to help you promote your events, workshops, seminars and speaking engagements; a mentor database for your certification process; and our highly informative, twice-monthly e-newsletter. And each month, the chapter provides opportunities to earn your requisite Continuing Coaching Education Units. Join or renew today to keep these benefits coming!

Your ICF Metro DC Board of Directors highly values your membership, participation and partnership in the ICF and the local Metro DC chapter. We also strongly encourage you to be familiar with this new MER policy and ask that you register as soon as possible and avoid any problems with the MER implementation. 

Again, if you have any questions please email them to me at membership@icfmetrodc.org.
