ICA Community Bulletin

The Coaching profession is always growing and expanding. ICA wants to stay ahead of the curve as well as continue to serve the needs of our current community and the world beyond.

We are inviting you to join the weekly Interest Groups that we will run for 4 weeks to help us create more resources for YOU. If you personally relate to the topic, have an interest in the topic or just want to join the fun, please feel free to attend one or more of our newly focused Interest Groups.

Each group will meet on a weekly basis and we look forward to your creative ideas, insights and sharing. By your participation, you will be telling us what the community is looking for and giving us feedback on possible additions to our CoPs.  Students are invited to leave feedback on these classes via the Discussion Board, under ‘CoP: Weekly Interest Groups’.

Thank you for helping us develop the future of ICA!
