Are you a creative coach with a passion for communications or social media?  If yes, we are looking for you to help us take the ICF Vancouver Chapter to a new level of member communication!

Role:  Development of a communications strategy, communications calendar, monthly e-newsletter, e-mail blasts, support other Committees with their communications needs, ensure consistent messaging, and regular website information updates.

* One to two members will lead the newsletter (generate ideas, gather articles, produce content, liaise with other Board committees, publish newsletter).

* One to two members will lead the website/social media (gathering chapter information, coaching news, tips, tools and techniques to share with our membership on the website; posting the information on the website once per week - perfect opportunity for someone who loves to connect with others, is comfortable with computers; you don’t need to have any special computer skills. A flair for design would be an asset – keeping the website interesting both visually and content is important to our community).

UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF RESONATING GIVING

 

 

As one of the invaluable coaches on this beautiful part of the planet, you have the desire to contribute your Chapter, and you want to try out your thinking edges along the box in a team environment by pouring out what's on your mind and heart.  We will generate ideas on increasing the demand in coaching and coaches in the Lower Mainland and create a source of ideas to our monthly Board meetings at ICF Vancouver Chapter. 

Number of Volunteers Required:  Up to 6

Role: To pursue what's new in our immediate neighborhood (work, family, friends etc) in terms of political, economical, social and technological trends and to see if there's any coaching opportunity in this new formation. Any research outcome supporting your observation around one of these four trends will be highly appreciated to justify the need for coaching.

Commitment:  2 hours per month

Meetings:  Meet in person to get connected and then every two weeks by phone.
