This role supports other committees ensuring their messages and programs are promoted to our members and beyond.

Announcing The Loretta Diez Coach Training Scholarship for 2025
ICF Minnesota established the Loretta Diez Coach Training Scholarship in honor of Loretta Diez, an ICF Minnesota coach and board member who exemplified the character traits we wish to honor and celebrate. Loretta was paralyzed in a car accident at the age of 22 and her attitude, accomplishments, contributions, and approach to life inspires us to pursue our dreams with courage, tenacity, resilience, honesty, kindness, humor, integrity and hope.
ICF Minnesota is on a mission to promote the development of a diverse community of coaches dedicated to serving others inclusively and equitably and awarding this scholarship to an ICF accredited educational organization for individual coaching education opportunities is one of the ways in which we will support this mission.

Evaluation criteria:
We will be evaluating applicants based on need, personal narrative, and potential for impact.
