On Friday, August 28th, ICF MD will co-host with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Maryland, an event that will bring employers and coaches together to better understand the current, and delineate the future foundations of successful coaching cultures. A senior leader and a coach representative from three organizations will present justifications, methods, and outcomes of their coaching initiatives. The featured organizations are: LifeBridge Health, NASA, and Rogers Communications. Heading the program is Meryl Moritz, immediate past Vice Chair of the ICF Global Board of Trustees, and founder/president of Meryl Moritz Resources LLC in New York, who will present study findings which served as the impetus for this conference.

She was a steadying force and it is truly amazing to reflect on some of the big projects that we have completed over the years with her input and advice (e.g. branding research/focus groups, the industry studies, presentations, etc.) We thank her for it all.”

Moritz says of her service, “The past five years have taken me to all corners of the planet as ICF’s ambassador, meeting people and carrying the message that coaching has the power to help humanity to flourish. I’m humbled, and amazed myself, to see how far the profession has come in these few years…light years from what any of us early members could foresee 20 years ago when ICF was founded. I will continue ambassadorship for the profession — even though I will no longer hold an ICF Board seat — as it is an honor to serve in any capacity to grow coaching’s professionalism and reach.”
