Welcome to the Virginia Chapter of the International Coach Federation (ICFVA)

This website serves as the statewide hub for individuals who have a coaching practice, want to become a coach or want to find a coach.

In the late 90s, a few coaches gathered in the Richmond area to share experiences and grow professionally. It has developed into a lively, statewide community of coaches and those associated with the coaching profession who want to connect, learn and promote the value of coaching in personal development. Through our affiliation with the International Coach Federation, the chapter helps carry out the mission to “lead the global advancement of the coaching profession,” right here in Virginia.

ICFVA provides in-person and virtual programs for the coaching community to share expertise, network and stay on top of the latest developments in the profession.

To learn more about who we are and how we support our coaches, clients and communities, check out our upcoming programs and events, latest news, or better yet, come to a chapter meeting near you! Guests are always welcome.
