Hello, I'm Natalie
Tucker Miller, IAC-CC. Since January 2006, I've
had the honor of leading the strong, dedicated and
extraordinary Board of Governors and team of volunteers who
serve the International Association of Coaching.
The IAC's contribution to the
coaching profession, the well-being of clients, and our
international constituency is stronger than ever. The
behind the scenes initiatives that have been manifesting,
support and enhance this commitment. I'd like to share some
of those endeavors here:
Our soon-to-launch, upgraded
website. Matthew Clulow (www.clulowassociates.com)
has worked tirelessly to create a new look and feel, which
is reflected in this newsletter.
An international team of
coaches involved in our pursuit of evolving standards and
measures of coaching mastery.
Strategic planning that will
ensure a continued rigorous and high quality
certification.
A return of a regularly
scheduled newsletter, the IAC VOICE.
Dedication and commendation of
our exceptional certifying board, whose members have
donated countless hours of their time refining the
certification process.
A decision to increase fees
for Step 2 certification to $350 effective June 1, 2006.
This indicates a move in the direction of more fairly
compensating our Certifier's time (and in the future the
fees will be further increased to better reflect the real
cost of certification) Our appreciation to our
devoted Certifiers is immeasurable. Get to know them
here:

Please
visit our current website
www.certifiedcoach.org for up-to-date info, and be on
the lookout for the announcement of the new website launch!
Questions? Don't hesitate
to contact our fabulous, diligent and "could not do this
without her" Membership Team Chair, Michelle Casto,
by e-mailing
membership@certifiedcoach.org with questions, comments,
greetings, or pats on the back!
Of course, our Board Members
would love to hear from you as well. Visit them here:

And our most distinguished
appreciation to Michael "Coop" Cooper, Ruth Ann
Harnisch, IAC-CC and Keri McGinnis, our outgoing
board members, and Barbara Mark, currently serving on
the Board as Past President, who gave untold amounts of
their time and resources to keep the dream of
performance-based certification alive and viable!
Until next time,
