Dear Members and Friends of ACTO,

We continue to be full steam ahead as we SPRINT over the next few months. The board retreat in November enabled us to be more clear and more focused. More importantly, it allowed us to know one another better so that we can work cohesively as a high performing team. We have increased the number of Board meetings and made the agenda more action oriented.

We implemented the Community Conversations calls in response to the membership’s request to have a forum for dialogue. So far, the dialogue has been rich and valuable. The conversations have also given a better sense of ways to frame the calls in the future so that they are relevant and timely for the issues we face in coaching and coach training. They will continue to be a means of connecting with one another and giving feedback to the organization.

We remain committed to breathing vitality into the organization.

Our sprint goals include:

  • reaching increased numbers in our membership, including additional coach training organizations as well as individuals
  • increasing the global representation of the membership to include many more countries; we are convinced that in order for our organization to continue evolving, we need to broaden our perspectives to increase our sensitivity to other worldviews
  • revamping and increasing sponsorship opportunities for our members and their offerings
  • shifting the leadership structure of the Board and committees to a more collective style, where everyone can “bring their brick” and contribute. In Committees and Task Forces, this will look like accepting your contribution or project in whatever form that takes

If you have an idea for ACTO, or would like to contribute in another way, connect at acto@actoonline.org. Your participation in a committee or task force affords you a one-year free membership.

We welcome your ideas, your participation and your effort as we SPRINT into 2025!

With appreciation and gratitude,
ACTO BOARD
