Dear Valued Members, Colleagues and Friends of ACTO,

Happy New Year! As we continue our “SPRINT” over the next few months, we can share that the Board continues to gel as a productive leadership team. We are working to revitalize ACTO and enhance our relevance to Coach Training Organizations, Coaches, and the field of coaching. We remain committed and energized as we lean into our preferred future – one that is as bright as the shining stars.

We held the most recent Community Conversations call on January 2nd and were excited by the robust dialogue that took place among the members who joined us. These Community Conversations came about in response to the membership’s request to have a time and place for discussions about what is happening in the field and in our individual coaching practices. So far, the dialogue has been very rich and the feedback has been valuable. We are encouraged by the interest in this initiative and remain committed to breathing vitality into the organization through a dialogic process. We welcome other suggestions from you that would spark more engagement.

Our 2025 goals include:

  • Increasing our membership among coach training organizations, as well as individual coaches, and coaching students;
  • Increasing the global representation of ACTO’s membership geographically to broaden our perspectives and increase our sensitivity to the challenges coaches face wherever they are in the world;
  • Revising and increasing Donor and Sponsorship offers for ACTO members and stakeholders; and
  • Creating a leadership structure that models a “power with” approach to decision-making and task-sharing.

If you have suggestions for how to help ACTO be “more” in 2025 or would like to contribute in another way, please contact us at acto@actoonline.org. Your participation on a committee or task force affords you a one-year free membership in ACTO!

We welcome your ideas, your participation and your effort as we continue our sprint throughout 2025!

With appreciation and gratitude,
ACTO BOARD
