NCCA Planning Meeting Notes

11 February 2005

Sue will start off discussion on this topic by presenting the matrix that was developed. This will provide a baseline for the discussion
Gloria Willis suggested that disassociation could actually help us get more members, by opening up to more coaches in the area who don't want to be a part of the ICF
Sue will contact Lucinda to get a historical perspective

We should have new officers in May
What would happen if Pat was a leader? Would want to know he would be a strong hands-on leader...
The coming changes may be perceived as threatening, but also it's a huge opportunity to design the future of coaching in the region
We may want a person to focus on credentialing - ICF and otherwise. Someone who knows the rules and regulations, and can help coach us on how to make the decisions around getting credentialed.
Sue is concerned about sustainability, how hard it's been to keep the momentum going. Maybe we need to have a conversation about what the group wants to become?
- Have a focused meeting
- Enlist people one-on-one
- "This may be the most important meeting we have ever had"
- We could invite non-members into the discussion too
- We seem to have meetings like this every year, what makes this different? It's focused on a specific decision
Having people take over leadership is hard, perhaps we should include funding the president going to the ICF (or other) conference
How to reach people?
- One-on-one calls with NCCA members
- Each person is asked to contact any non-NCCA members
- Advertise in paper and on radio?
Tentative date: 28 April, 6:00 dinner, 7:00-10:00 meeting?
