ICF Southeast Region Town Hall: UNITED: Breaking Down Barriers of Race & Systemic Inequality


When: 7/15/2020 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM
Where: Virtual Meeting - Meeting link is provided after registering.
Join the ICF Southeast Region for this special town hall discussion on the most recent challenges we face in the ongoing battle against systemic racial inequality.  As coaches, we hold space for others every day,  and it is equally important that we come together to support one another as each of us determines how we want to address this critical issue both personally and professionally.

This 75-minute forum will include:
  • A panel discussion with ICF chapter leaders from across the Southeast region
  • An update on ICF Global's stance and ongoing efforts related to this topic
  • An opportunity for all attendees to share their experiences and connect as a community
We invite you to participate in the conversation as we navigate this difficult time and work together to effect positive change in our communities and the world.
