“The story of Black History Month begins in Chicago during
the summer of 1915…”





Black history month is the recounting of who we have proven to be in the most harsh, extraordinary, and unforgiving of times and environments.  This proof helped create America, its armor and sword, its wealth, its culture, and the very foundation on which it all rests.

As the sun sets on black history month, I’d like to encourage you to continue the celebration throughout 2021 by supporting black achievements, businesses, initiatives, and community efforts.

Our ICF chapter partners with other professional organizations to share educational and development opportunities. As professional coaches, we may also serve as trainers, facilitators, and consultants to our clients, so it’s important that we keep growing and polishing these skills as well.
We’re thrilled to announce that we have formally partnered with ODN Oregon, which exists to advance the organizational development (OD) profession. It serves current and aspiring OD practitioners, consultants, and educators.
What does this mean for you? If you are interested in learning more about organizational development, you can interact with ODN Oregon in a few ways:
  • Our chapter will share upcoming educational opportunities and workshops that ODN Oregon offers in our email newsletters, so make sure you’re on our mailing list!
  • You’ll pay a discounted registration fee to attend ODN Oregon events since we are now affiliate organizations. You can access the ODN Oregon upcoming schedule of events here. Make sure that you select the “Partner Orgs.” option on Eventbrite when you register in order to lock in the discount.
If you have questions about how our chapter is partnering with ODN Oregon or other professional organizations, please reach out to our Director of Affiliate Organizations at outreach@icforegon.org. We are actively seeking partnerships with the local Coaches of Color and Culture, SHRM, and ATD chapters.

Established in 1968 by founders in the field of organization development, the OD Network consists of leading scholars and practitioners who guide the practice of OD in an increasingly complex world.

As an organization, we serve Organization Development Professional change agents by creating a global community for meaningful connections, exchanging best practices, opportunities to interact with thought leaders and access to leading edge practices, tools and technologies. As a result, our members elevate the importance of OD practices by creating sustainable impact in today’s organizations, communities and beyond!

Dear Coach Community, As we have watched racial tragedies expose prejudice and injustice in our country in the pas few weeks, it is a call to remind us of our true purpose as coaches to serve all of Humanity. In these uncertain times as Covid continues to rampantly impact our marginalized communities, our justice system has once again brought us to question our stand and stance in racial biases, that perpetuate oppression against people of color and more towards our black brothers and sisters. George Floyd’s death with not be forgotten and we at ICF Oregon stand with our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities in these times of distress. We are reaching out to our Black brothers and sisters to let them know that we stand with then in this mourning. ICF Oregon is committed to bringing equality and social transformation through creating spaces of deeper awareness, grieving, empowerment, and connection. We are community. Our culture is a culture of service. We are all in this together. Sincerely, The ICF Oregon Board
