The ICF Thought Leadership Institute Board of Directors is a governance board in a start-up stage of development. This means that in addition to being fiduciary guardians of this 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, our board members roll up their sleeves, put on their thinking caps, and dedicate a good portion of their time taking an active role on one or more of our board committees or task forces.
Applications for the 2023 ICF Thought Leadership Institute Board of Directors are now closed.
We encourage all qualified candidates to apply or hope that you will refer someone you think would be a qualified candidate. Thank you for your consideration of ICF Thought Leadership Institute’s work.
At the conclusion of the call for 2023 candidates, the Nominating Committee will review all applications and propose a slate of candidates to the Board of Directors for discussion, followed by an endorsement to submit the slate to the ICF Global Enterprise Board of Directors for review and approval of submission to the existing Board for a vote.
