Peyina Lin-Roberts, President*

After serving as the Co-Director of Coaching Equity in 2021 and the VP/President Elect in 2022, I am thrilled to serve as the chapter President in 2023! ICFWA is a leading chapter because board members are willing to trust, be vulnerable, learn, and co-create; and chapter members' participation enriches our programs. We continue to collectively amplify the messages that: a) canned solutions cannot address the complex inequitable structures of social systems; and b) it takes each and everyone of us to do our part in self-development, collective leadership, and humble courage to live up to our mission. I am committed to nurturing and expanding our movement towards developing meaningful relationships, self-transforming mindsets, and equitable social change through conventional and pioneering programs, so that we contribute to ICF Global's vision of "a world where coaching is integral to transforming societies."

Kristal Roberts, Vice President*

I am honored to serve as the Vice-President, President elect, for 2023. I was introduced to the board last year as the Co-Director of Education. I am constantly in awe of the quality of board members and their passion, commitment and dedication to advancing equitable coaching for not only Washington but beyond. I am grateful for this opportunity to contribute to supporting our chapter to achieve its vision of creating a more just world, where DEIBJ (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging and Justice) is embodied in what it means to be a coach, and coaching becomes an integral part of a thriving society.

Barbara Visser, Past President*

As an ICF member, I have received great value in both the local and global community of coaches through networking, professional development, and volunteer opportunities. Saying “yes” to a leadership role allowed me to deepen my alignment with the shared vision and commitment of this team holding space for a transforming organization, where diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice is embodied in what it means to be a coach.

Nicole D. Franklin, Director of Coaching Equity*

I'm thrilled to become a part of ICFWA Board in 2023 as the Co-Director of Coaching Equity.  I bring with me the experience gained from volunteering in the Equity Working Group along with many years working with underserved communities to developing pragmatic solutions to problems.  Joyful about the new challenges intended for deepening Pro-Equity leadership abilities among other professionals within our industry--all while striving towards achieving true systemic change at all levels around quality coaching practices!  I am passionate about supporting professionals on their journey towards Pro-Equity Anti-Racism leadership development through executive & life coaching.
