Invitation to Join ICF DEIJB Committee

My name is Amanda Zagelbaum and I am the current DEIJB Board Chair. I am excited and grateful for this opportunity to engage with other coaches about how to continue to build accessible, welcoming coaching spaces.

A little bit about me; I live in Minneapolis with my husband, two children, a dog and a cat. Some of my favorite hobbies include gardening, hiking with my dog, engaging with creative activities (think polymer clay creations), and reading.
