ICF Maryland seeks alliances with strategic partners to enhance the visibility and reach of both the chapter and our partners, while creating valuable opportunities for the coaching community. Our partnerships promote the coaching profession while supporting business development and contributing to the welfare of individuals and organizations across the state of Maryland.
Strategic Partnership Opportunities
Through strategic partnerships, ICF Maryland promotes the benefits of coaching and upholds the high standards set by the International Coaching Federation. These collaborations help integrate coaching into new industries, increase public awareness of coaching’s transformative potential, and ensure coaches have the tools they need to thrive professionally.
Partnership Opportunities
Our customizable partnerships allow ICF Maryland and our partners to pool resources, share expertise, and deliver high-quality programming to chapter members and/or organizational constituents. Our collaborations may include joint events, educational initiatives, sponsorships, community engagement initiatives such as leadership development and corporate wellness programs, advertising to chapter members, and/or pro-bono coaching opportunities – all with the goals of driving business growth and awareness of coaching in the community.

Additional Partnership Opportunities
Pro Bono Coaching
The staff and teams of many Maryland non-profit organizations could benefit from coaching, but tight budgets often don’t allow it. ICF Maryland connects qualified executive, leadership, and other types of coaches with local non-profits interested in offering coaching to bolster the efforts of their employees. Visit our Pro Bono Coaching page to learn more and alert us of your interest.
Seeking Presenters and Coach Educators
ICF Maryland brings continuing coaching education to our members, enabling them to earn credits required for the renewal of their ICF credentials locally, with their own community of coaches. We invite qualified coaches and coach educators to present workshops to the ICF Maryland community. Visit our Learning & Credentialing page to learn more and apply to present.
