ICF Vancouver – Prism Award Announcement

As summer made its entrance in the lower mainland and provides glorious blue skies, many of us feel compelled to just relax and savour moment. Indeed, this seems to be an opportune time re-balance our busy lives and enjoy the outdoors to our hearts’ content in the company of family and friends.
Yet, at this time, members of various committees in our local chapter, are also in the midst of organizing exciting events for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.  The Award committee was recently formed to help ignite and recognize the spirit of coaching excellence by leading the development of two award programs for local members of ICF.  This committee is now pleased to announce that the Prism Award along with a new award ceremony will take place in Vancouver in February 2013.

 Given that ample time is needed to assess the Prism Award candidates and ensure we have sufficient nominations, we have set November 15 as the limit date for such nominations to be brought forward. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the guidelines and criteria to apply http://www.coachfederation.org/about-icf/icf-awards/prism/

In the event that you don’t qualify for the Prism Award, please think about others you know that may fit the criteria and consider encouraging them to apply.  Additionally, in August, we will provide information about the new award program which will have different and less rigorous criteria thereby enabling more coaches to be honoured for their achievements as outstanding coaches in our local community.
