As CCO continues to grow, so does the community of people shaping what’s possible through coaching. Behind every program, event, and connection is a group of thoughtful, committed leaders bringing this work to life. As we look ahead to the next chapter, we’re inviting new voices and perspectives to join us through our Extended Board of Directors.

The Work We’re Doing Together

We are a community of executive coaches advancing powerful coaching in organizations so both individuals and systems can flourish, especially in spaces where coaching is less accessible, like nonprofits and public service agencies.

We believe powerful coaching fuels greatness in organizations and communities. Founded in 2020, we are a mission-driven nonprofit working to:

• Provide Coach Development and thought leadership to advance powerful coaching in organizations so that both the individual and the organization can flourish.

• Expand the Reach of Coach Training and coaching to under-resourced organizations solving complex challenges.

• Increase Representation so coaches better mirror the population at large.

We offer training programs, host events like the CCO Summit, and provide resources to support the growth of coaches worldwide.

What It’s Like to Be Part of This Community

When we asked current and past board members what it’s like to be part of CCO, here’s what they shared:

Why Join the Board

Being part of the CCO Board is an opportunity to contribute to something bigger than yourself while growing your own leadership. Board members help shape programs, guide strategy, and support a community rooted in curiosity, compassion, and connection.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your governance experience, expand your network, or bring your skills to a mission-driven organization, this is a space to learn, lead, and collaborate alongside others who care deeply about the impact of coaching.

Who Thrives Here

This work is a great fit for people who value curiosity, collaboration, and creativity, and who enjoy bringing ideas to life while supporting others.

Most of all, it’s for those who want to grow alongside a thoughtful, engaged coaching community.

Current Board Opportunities

We’re currently seeking leaders to step into the following roles:

Communications & Marketing

As a member of CCO’s Extended Board of Directors, you’ll lead and collaborate with a talented creative team, including a part-time marketing designer and key event stakeholders. Together, you’ll help ensure that CCO’s communications are clear, on-brand, and aligned with its mission and values.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with the Treasurer and program leaders to shape annual budgets, review financial analyses, and align resources with organizational priorities.
