Marc A. Pitman Why I am serving on the Board: I am honored to be serving on the Board because ICF matters. Coaches best know how to help fellow coaches deliver excellent service to clients. In the almost two decades that I’ve been a coach, I’ve seen the ICF standards, credentialing, and ongoing education raise the bar in the entire coaching sector. Also, I love helping coaches connect with other coaches. We are better ourselves when we grow in relationship with each other. Fun Fact: I love brewing my own beer and am on my way to my second level of Cicerone certification, the “sommelier” equivalent for beer. |

Toya Y. Moore Vice President Why I'm serving on the Board: I attended a training in another state, and they brought in the ICF chapter to talk about the benefits of membership and the good they were doing, not just for the coaching practitioners, but for the community in general. I immediately found the SC Chapter and joined. I watched and attended virtual sessions for a few months. I was inspired by the work SC-ICF has done to help coaching practitioners across the state, as well as the commitment to the overall community, I decided to be a part of the leadership team so that I can contribute to some of that goodness. Fun Fact: I have a golden Microphone that I carry in my purse/bag. You know, in case of emergencies. |  |
Ross Robinson Why I am serving on the Board: My introduction to coaching in 2009 was through an ICF aligned coach training program. The definitions, coach competencies, and code of ethics were immediately impressive and resonated deeply. I joined ICF Global and have been an active member since that time. I believe in the power of coaching and have seen the transformation it brings, and I am grateful for the opportunity to build connections with other coaches who share this calling. I am a native South Carolinian, and when I saw that ICF-SC needed a Treasurer, I decided to reach back into my accounting roots and offer my services in this way. Fun Fact: I love hiking in National Parks! After becoming ICF credentialed, one of my first leadership training opportunities was with a group of leaders from The Department of National Parks. The organizer said it was my enthusiasm about National Parks that landed me the job. |

Through our collective efforts, we have the power to transform our world! Fun Fact: I recently took up the hobby of acting and was in a murder mystery. I had a very small part and was on stage twice.
