A Message from the President

Happy New Year ICFTN Members,

In these uncertain times, I hope you have taken time for reflection, sacred rest, and meaningful moments with family and loved ones during the holiday. Thanks to you and our 2023 Board, we accomplished a great deal in 2023 and the bar has been raised to the next level. So, EXPECT MORE in 2024!

Expect to connect more with one another in person. Our quarterly regional meetup dates have been set and we have our hosts. Thanks to Babs Murray (Chattanooga), Mary George Stevenson and Marina Alex (Knoxville), Bill Burtch (Memphis), and yours truly (Nashville). 

Save the date for our first in-person conference on October 16th and 17^th at the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. Our theme is CONNECT. ENGAGE. GROW. Early bird registration starts in March, so get ready.

Expect to engage. Our chapter needs you. We encourage you to join a committee, participate in offerings, and show up at our regional meetups.

Expect to grow. We look forward to seeing you at our first Chapter Meeting on ZOOM, January 12^th at 11:45 CST with Deb Calvert on asking better, more purposeful questions. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend.

Our 2024 Board has already been at work with a commitment to what we all care about - building diverse, inclusive relationships through connection, growing our organization with impact, and engaging in thought-provoking conversations and learnings to empower ourselves and others. To make this all happen are the 2024 Board Members and Special Project Leaders:
